Do not take this turn-off; continue straight on what is now Highway 4. At odometer reading 7.2, you will pass Wolf Creek Road, and at 8.7, is a tall brick chimney on your right (Chalmers' Mansion). At 10.3 miles from Markleeville, you will cross a bridge over Silver Creek. At 10.5 miles slow down and watch for a brown Forest Service sign on your left, marking the site of Silver Mountain City.
