Running
The Rainbow Trail runs along the foothills of Anvil Mountain to where it crosses the Million Dollar Highway and climbs Bear Creek. Presumably, the trail gets its name from the multicolored mineral deposits that paint the mountainside as it runs down toward Mineral Creek.
Victoria Mine sits at the east end of the trail, and the South Anvil Mine is along the middle of the trail.
