Took a drive and decided to check this place out on a whim, and we were pleasantly surprised! We had no idea there was a famous mine back there, or a restored homestead, an historic railroad path, waterfalls & cascades, or wildflower meadows! There were families walking the trail, older folks, and horseback riders. The trails were very well-maintained as well as were the bathrooms, plus a friendly attendant was greeting and thanking everyone for being at the park!

One of my fave hikes. I'm disabled and can't hike likei used to. I got really depressed because I loved outdoor things. But this one i can do. I can't go far, maybe just a quarter mile at a time, but it's reasonably flat for that duration, and is out in the wilderness, and plodding slowly along it makes me feel like myself again. I forgot how much herbalism and geology I knew bc I was sick indoors for so long. We just got a dog and took him here for the first time, and it was magical for all of us.

Nice place to hike, snowshoe or xc ski. Largely level trail that meets the switzerland trail and goes to an abandoned ranch and farm.

This place was so AWESOME to me! I had just recently watched a documentary about a musician that frequently visited the Caribou Ranch to retreat from the hustle and bustle of fame & fortune. He and others like him were clearly inspired by the beautiful surroundings. The hike is challenging enough, the beauty definitely worth the effort.

Fairly flat there-and-back loop with a historic homestead and mining complex about a mile in. Follows the old railroad Switzerland Trail for a bit and has some informational signs along the way.
