Rockpile containing remnant ore from 1800's mining operations. You'll see several hollers with these rockpiles. There are strip and small shaft mines up the mountain from each of these.

Beautiful mountain Laurel lined singletrack
Note the rusty rock and the crevass above in center. That's an old scoop mine.

Ahh...the moss berms. Greenery even in the dead of winter.
Look for the trail - take a sharp right upwards and backwards just ahead of bike.
Another view of Mineshaft trailhead. You can blow right past it, it's exactly 1 mile from the picnic table at the top.
Not too shabby.
Looking down Chair Rock descent, aka Bobletts Gap Road. Fairly rugged, fun, and you'll be coming back up in about 2 hours.
