Description
The Santa Fe Peak Trail is a challenging road that traverses a series of tight switchbacks and open ridges to a stunning viewpoint from the top of the peak. The road is quite narrow and steep in places, and is recommended for experienced drivers only. From the summit, hikers can descend into a little valley to see the ruins of the Silver Wave Mine.
