Overview

Two Brothers Road is an easy offroad trail that connects the old mountain mining towns of Idaho Springs and Central City. If you are one that shys away from the highways and would rather take the dirt roads, this is a trail you need to consider. Take a trip through history and revisit the early 1900s structures that once made up the blossoming network of mines surrounding "The Richest Square Mile on Earth".
