Gold Mountain trail (3N69) is another favorite of the
SoCal4x4Geocachers. This trail, while rated most difficult, offers
a variety of obstacles that can be mild for the experienced
4wheeler with a well equipped rig, or challenging for an
inexperienced driver with a stock rig. Most of the obstacles along
this trail have a hard line and easy line, so you can pick your
evil.
The trail gets its name from the gold mining operations that
took place near here in the late 1800s. The Gold Mountain mine was
the most visible and best known in the area. It had two huge,
40-stamp mills at different times. The first was built in 1875 and
the second in 1900. The massive foundation for the stamps of a
later mill is very prominent today. There are other caches located
near the sites of those stamp mills.
Good luck, and Happy Caching!
