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.

Not too shabby.
Beautiful mountain Laurel lined singletrack
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.
