Overview

Cinnamon Gulch is home to the remains of several large mining operations, including the Pennsylvania Mine. In 2015, the EPA launched a large project to staunch the flow of heavy metals and acidic water from the Pennsylvania. To facilitate their heavy equipment, the road along Cinnamon Gulch was improved. It is now mostly passable in 2-wheel-drive. Short spur roads off of Cinnamon Gulch offer some excellent photo ops with mine ruins and the picturesque valley below. Just be sure to respect these historic sites. Enjoy them from a safe distance.
