Itinerary description

This area is just covered in creeks, the greenest forests, views of rivers, mountains and even goes to the Zymontez mine.
To get to the mine you go up the North Copper Logging Road which is located at the end of the Copper Estates Road to 11.25km turn right and follow the power lines road until the road splits at 2 different spots, go left for both, going right gets you to the Copper River.
I strongly suggest using a quad or SxS for the mine road, there are some very steep hills with big boulders and lots of loose rocks.
*Update July 20th 2019
The road has 2 really bad washouts, the one at the barely standing bridge about a kilometer from the mine is in real rough shape, easily crossed with and ATV or SxS, but a vehicle would be extremely difficult and unsafe unless you are a veteran professional offroader.

Bridge unsafe The bridge is in much worse shape as of July 20th 2019 and should not be used at all, there is a ATV trail on the right just before it because the road is washed out before the bridge.
