Overview
This TH/TR145 (originally an old asbestos mining road) provides an "alternate" trail connection to the HAZ McFadden Horse Trail #146 hike. This Cienega Spring #145 adds some scenic driving time/distance, adds an additional 2.8 miles R/T hiking distance with an opportunity to view six(6) nineteenth-century Sierra Ancha asbestos mine adits along this 2.4mi route, and also provides some scenic views of the Reynolds Creek Drainage below.
