Silverdale Historic Area Trails
Hike, snowshoe, or bike on old mining trails, now upgraded for visiting the historic Silverdale and Argentine mining districts, and the remains of the town of Silverdale.
This trail complex is easy to reach and provides a variety of lengths and elevation gains in combination. Clear Creek winds through the area. Georgetown provides detailed info about the district and its trails. Clear Creek County manages the trails and provides trail info and updates.
