The Mine Hill Trail offers occasional glimpses of the San Francisco East Bay.
The start of April Trail marks a pleasant beginning on any adventure to explore old mining sites.
Powder House (restored) was where blasting powder (used to make mine tunnels, shafts, etc.) was kept.
April Trestle is nestled against Mine Hill. April Tunnel (leading into Mine Hill) is at the left end of the trestle. Ore cars rode the trestle.
April Trestle (remnants seen here) carried cinnabar (mercury ore) in mining cars out of April Tunnel, which cut deep into Mine Hill.
This is the view approaching the remnants of April Trestle on April Trail. Mining ore cars brought cinnabar (mercury ore) out of the April Tunnel at the left end of April Trestle.
Mine Hill Trail winds through hilly wooded terrain in east Quicksilver Park.
New Year's Day brings sunshine and group-wide smiles to the Great Eastern Trail Connector.
