In the late 1800's this site was used to mine cinnabar ore, which was refined into pure liquid mercury. Today the trail is very popular with offroad/4x4 groups and is a scenic little place to visit in the Mazatzal Wilderness. The mine building was demolished by wildfire in 2012. All that remains is the large metal ore separator.
