    The NPS brochure map is misleading. The trail does not lead to the Pine City site. The map takes you past the short turnoff to Pine City and ends at a high point overlooking a rugged canyon. If you are skilled in off-trail hiking and route finding you can follow that canyon down to the East Entrance station. To get to Pine City itself, retrace the trail back to a large boulder area. We noted a vertical white granite dike in the boulder pile that was somewhat reminiscent of a waterfall. That gap between boulder piles is the Pine City complex. There is a number of Pinyon Pines in the area. I did not spot any remains of the old mining camp that once was there.
