Trail Description
The Bullion Pit low mobility trail is a seven hundred metre crushed gravel trail with a gentle grade. There is a one hundred metre steeper section of the trail of higher difficulty. The trail winds through the site of the legendary Bullion Pit hydraulic mine and includes a view of the man-made canyon from the days of the gold-rush.
Equipment used during the mining, including hydraulic jets, are on view, as well as the remains of ditches that brought the water to the mine through the forest. Accessible picnic tables and an accessible outhouse are located at the trail head.
