Harriman delivered on this one. The loop starts with a solid climb up Tom Jones Mountain for big valley views, then settles into an easier middle section through the woods before passing Lake Skenonto. Expect some rocky terrain and a few steep bits early on; overall it’s a great mix of effort and payoff.

My wife and I spent the day hiking at Silver Mine and it couldn’t have been better. The trail had more climb and rocky stretches than we expected, but that just added to the adventure. Between the lake, the streams, and those quiet spots under the trees, it felt like one of those hikes where you enjoy every step. Sharing a few photos from the day — it really was beautiful out there. 👉 Anyone else been to Silver Mine? What’s your favorite trail in that area?
