West Magnolia and Apex on New Tires

20150829_161017

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.

Collapsed headworks.

A big pit in the ground where an old adit is collapsing.  The whole area looks a bit unstable.

The trail is narrow and gorgeous.  In another few weeks, the aspens will be spectacular.
