Trail Information

Highlights

Two Brothers Road is an easy offroad trail that connects the old mountain mining towns of Idaho Springs and Central City. If you are one that shys away from the highways and would rather take the dirt roads, this is a trail you need to consider. Take a trip through history and revisit the early 1900s structures that once made up the blossoming network of mines surrounding "The Richest Square Mile on Earth".

Very cool trail through Idaho Springs. Did it as a loop with Virginia Canyon Road. Not hard in anyway, almost any vehicle would be fine. Snow along the whole way but not much, a little ice too. Fun scenic route if you’re in the area.

Short and easy trail. Not a lot of old mining structures but a couple of cool things to see.

It was very fun for my first official offroading trail. The first part is very bumpy, but the rest is fun and see the old mine tunnels is very cool.

Easy little dirt road with a view. Cool seeing the old mining structures and a good detour on a weekend drive.
