Mineral Fork
Hiking Trail

The Mineral Fork trail is a good moderate hike in Big Cottonwood Canyon. It follows an old mining road through the woods and into the high alpine.
The Mineral Fork trail is a moderate hike along an old mining road with over 3,000 feet of elevation gain in 9 miles round trip. It starts with some switchbacks through the woods and opens up into a very rocky and rugged canyon with a rich mining history. The upper trail/road is on very loose shale and ends in a small filled in mining site. There is a saddle that can be reached with a little more effort that offers nice views to the west.
