I cant say enough wonderful things about Gold Hill and the Gold Hill Trail. This town has done a wonderful job preserving the remnants of the Gold Hill Mines that began with a gold rush boom in 1824. The hiking trail follows those rails used to transport the excavations to several other historical buildings. A great hike for kids. And yes, you can park next to the ball field.

We enjoyed our time exploring both the town and the rail trail today. A bit muddy, but not too bad. The only negative is the condition of the historical markers. Weathering and sunlight has deteriorated them, making them unreadable.

Not much to see our do here (our visit was mid day Tuesday). There is what appears to be old stones used as part of the mining, but there were not much in the way of informational signs. You can walk down some stairs and look into the entry of a mine, but there isn't much to see in the dark. If you walk across the road there is a few buildings and behind that a fenced in area that was a shaft at one point but now just looks like a whole with water. Still, a good place to stretch your legs a little if you are traveling with a small playground for children.
