Aetna Springs to Holm’s Place

About
the hike

Explore the remote and less-visited side of the Oat Hill Mine Trail, which partially follows an old stagecoach route. On this moderate out-and-back hike, we’ll see wild-looking geologic formations and old freight-wagon tracks carved into solid rock. We’ll have lunch at Holm’s Place near the Palisades, where remains of stone buildings and an apple orchard from 1900 can still be seen. High clearance vehicles are recommended to get to the trailhead.
