| the hike |
Are you up for Saturday stroll down memory lane?
Starting in Superior we hike the “Old Road” up to and thru the
old tunnel. Upon returning we’ll scamper across US 60 before hiking
up the runaway truck ramp to visit an abandoned mining site.
This is an out-and-back hike. See
Slide Show.
