At this trailhead Mine Hill Trail starts with an initial climb up from the parking lot into Almaden Quicksilver County Park. It is the main, longest trail, winding to the northwest through the park. After the climb it follows the mostly gentle eastern ridge, with a few options for side trails to remnants of quicksilver mining. At the very northern end one can connect to trails leading to the Sierra Azul State Park, which you see all along Mine Hill Trail, rising on the eastern flank of Almaden Quicksilver park.
