Trail: The Hilltop Mine

Trail Identifier:     T203-S216

Location:  Alma, CO 80440

Trailhead Location: From the town of Fairplay head south on Highway 285. After one mile you will pass the intersection with Colorado 9 and begin to go up a hill. About 3/4 of the way up this hill there is a road on the right. Turn onto that road. This road will take you the rest of the way to the trailhead. The road gets progressively worse as you go. Any car can make it at least to the old townsite of Leavick (You will see a large building on the right side of the road). After the town of Leavick there are several spots with parking when you decide you've gone far enough (marked by yellow diamonds on the map). The road ends at a closure gate and you must start hiking from there.
