Rochford Trailhead To Mystic Trailhead
Milepost 74.7 to milepost 82.6 or vice versa.
The Rochford Trailhead to Mystic Trailhead is one of the easier parts of the Mickelson Trail. It is also quite pretty with a stream flowing next to it and a pretty cool tunnel to take a break in. The trail also goes between two old mining towns. In Rochford you can have a beer, or lunch, and in Mystic you can walk around and check out some old buildings. The grade is not that bad either, and there are no big hills you have to climb.
