This hike was a December hike on the Ore Crusher trail. Actually met an employee at the crusher and he answered all questions for us. Had he not been there I would have walked past an open mine. Nice hike with definite difficulty with the elevation change, at least difficult for two old people haha. Not many leaves in December but we did find many crane fly orchids that we notated to see next August. So many trails and interesting things to see if you know some of the mining history of the Ham.
Beautiful area to hike! Trails are very well maintained and marked very well. For those that may need them, there are benches along the trail to take a break on and signs advising which trail you're on. The quarry provide some outstanding views also. A great way to spend a day! 5.00 per day parking, payable on line from parking area.
Ruffner mountain is an amazing place. The trails are well maintained, the maps are spot on, and the hidden gems to find are worth your exploration. This place was a haven for me when I was in a dark place and I couldn't have asked for more. My thanks go out to all those that maintain such a wonderful hiking paradise!
