This past Thursday my friend Robert joined me on a hike on Mineral Ridge. I first hiked this trail about a year ago and hope to return again some day soon. I really enjoy this hike with the fresh air, its almost untouched beauty and it’s amazing vistas. The trail is listed at 3.3 miles, but as usual, Robert and I extended it to 5 miles.
Back in the early 1900’s miners tried to strike it rich here but it wasn’t meant to be. This is where the ridge got its name. The rock here is a very dense metamorphic rock that with the tools of the day was virtually impossible to break down into its minerals for processing. That’s why this area is still beautiful and almost as untouched as it was then. Take a look!
