havenandart: in whiterock gulley there is an old wooden trestle that dates its use from the 1870s to early 1900s. it travels over the narrow creekbed and into the flat top mountains, having been used as a railway access for loggers and miners in the mineral-rich northern rockies. the wood has long since rotted to the point of warding off even the most advanced hikers, but remains as a hot spot for those who wish to see one of the last remaining trestles of the time.the state closes access to the trailhead in the summer, due to both the increase in tourist hikers next to the decaying relic and because the inhabitants of the gulley frequent the area in search of shade. the pinto stallion, declared “apollo,” has been reported as aggressive to humans who wander too close to his herd. -- source link
