Because the trail zone traverses some of the highest elevations in the region, it provides considerable scenic potential. High vantage points offer unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains as well as the valleys below. Additionally, Historic and recent mining operations may be viewed.
The north end of the trail starts .5 miles south of the Kingston Guard Station.
