Hi all,
Anyone have experience hiking to the old mines in the Chariot Canyon area? I'd like to hike down from Sunrise Highway and back in the same day, and according to a rough calculation on the CalTopo map, it's about 5 miles each way. According to this Schad article (link), the trail is "rougher and harder" than descending into Oriflamme Canyon on the truck trail. I know Darren has mentioned running through this area...is it worth checking out?
Thanks for any input. I'll likely go the first weekend in May, as I'm hoping it won't be too warm out there yet at 3600-4600 feet.
Dan
