Jun 26, 2018 — A short detour leads up a creek to a barred-up mine shaft. Go back to the trailhead after visiting this and start the loop - I went up the Coppermines Trail first, returning on the Kaiser Trail. Coppermines Trail follows a pretty creek for a bit, and then stays a bit higher, offering some nice views down the gully. Walk through the woods for a bit to the junction with the Appalachian Trail before continuing to the jucntion with the Kaiser Trail. Choose the latter of the two spur trails from the Kaiser Trail to get some more nice views before rejoining with the Coppermines Trail.
