Frommer's Review
This trail gains just 350 feet in elevation as it winds along the river flood plain, through lush vegetation, past an 1880s mine and several miners' cabins, and then along an old stage route into a subalpine forest, before arriving at the site of Lulu City. Founded in 1879 by prospectors hoping to strike gold and silver, it was abandoned within 10 years, and little remains of it today except the ruins of a few cabins. The beginning elevation is 9,014 feet.
