Pomeroy Lakes
Overview:
A significant number of mining structures remain and most are on the lower, easier part of trail. You’ll see many sightseers here. Fewer people venture up the harder parts of the trail to the Mary Murphy Mine and Lower Pomeroy Lake.
Rating: Difficult
Applies only to upper end of trails. The side trip to Mary Murphy Mine is a steep, narrow shelf road, but is relatively smooth. The only section not recommended for stock SUV is above Waypoint 04, where it is rocky and steep.
