We went up West Magnolia and Apex Road yesterday to try out my new tire inflation system using a SCUBA tank. The West Magnolia road is really nice and quite. We only saw a few other people at the start of the trail from the Nederland side. About halfway along West Magnolia, we saw some old mine ruins.
Big old boiler or pressure tank.
Collapsed headworks.
A big pit in the ground where an old adit is collapsing. The whole area looks a bit unstable.
An old collapsed cabin close to the Rollinsville end of West Magnolia.
The trail is narrow and gorgeous. In another few weeks, the aspens will be spectacular.
Up on Apex Road on the Tolland side looking toward the Indian Peaks Wilderness and Rollins Pass.
Up at the top in the small parking area.
Heading down toward Apex near the little stone building. We were stuck in the snow just below here back in the spring.
