This trail crosses the Continental Divide through an area rich in mining history. There are kiosks all along the route that explain points of interest. Buffalo Boy Tram House and Kite Lake are the highlights of the trip. Consider taking the Old Hundred Gold Mine Tour to learn about the history of the area. Road is open all year except during springtime if muddy.
5.8 miles to Stony Pass. Another 12.1 miles to Kite Lake. Side trip to Buffalo Boy Tram House adds 1.5 miles one way

We only did the portion of this trail up to the Buffalo Boy Tram House and I do recommend this portion of the trail for everyone to see the tram house. Trail is true to description.
