Hike the Dixie Mine Trail

12/15/18

My mid December hike on this trail was nice but not memorable. Taking this hike in the cooler months seems like a no brained, since I didn’t see much shade along the way. Besides distance and one or two “climbs” this would be a very easy hike. The climbs are brief enough to not cause the average beginner much strain at all. The trail starts with a walk through a neighborhood, so it’s not the way you’d normally expect to start a hike. The trail is clearly marked the whole way, so you’re not likely to get confused as to which way to continue. The end brings you to a mine shaft that is secured and safe. The end was a bit anticlimactic. It was a little drive for me so I’m not likely to do this hike again but if your in the area and are a sucker for caves and mines like I am it’s easy enough to complete on a cool day in about 2 hours.
