Old mining road double track, as it continues, from the High Trail single track split, to the top of the ridge. Various road splits in the alpine. Multi-use, so ride in control on the decent - hikers and horses may be coming up.

NOTE: As this trail is wholly inside the Park, no motorized uses are permitted.

Going up is gut-wrenching climb, after coming up the High Trail from Tyuaghton Lake. The whole of the mining road/High Trail access is also locally known as "The Puker" if done as an uphill. Good views and riding options from the top.
