Mineral Fork Trail starts as an old mining road and continues towards the historic Wasatch Mine and the Regulator Johnson Mine. This trail has views of Kessler Peak and avalanche paths. A scramble from the Regulator Johnson Mine to the ridge gains access to the triple divide of Cardiff Fork, Mineral Fork, and Lake Blanche Fork. This moderately difficult 4.5 mile trail gains 3,510 feet in elevation and receives frequent use. It takes about 4 hours to complete the trail one way.
