This was our first hike on the Osha Spring Trail. We checked out the trail in anticipation of making it to the Landsend Mine. We’ll return one day; this is a trail that is better for warmer weather – it has higher elevation and some shade.

I urge you to explore our hiking tracks with Google Earth. With the virtual 3-dimensional presentation, achieved by panning and tilting the view, you can get a much better idea of the hikes and terrain than you can get from the 2-dimensional screenshot above. For assistance: Using Google Earth Track Files.
