This hike begins just off the Mt Rose Highway, trailhead elevation is 8,560' & co ords are: N39° 18.116' W119° 55.126'
There are no restrooms, bring your own water.
Look for & stay on Ophir Creek trail signs
The trail has a nice tree canopy that provides shade for the first mile or so & is relatively flat. Somewhere around the 1.5 mile you'll begin a long descent down to Price Lake @7,243'; co ords of Price Lake are: N39° 17.663' W119° 52.610'.
The last .3 mile of the trail parallels a ditch with water running down to Franktown, NV for farmers/ranchers. Once you reach the dam, you'll want to cross over to a nice shaded area near the lakeshore to rest & enjoy some nutrition or to perhaps overnight.
THIS IS THE ONLY TRAIL that enables hikers to see the SCAR from the 1984 slide. It was the 1984 Slide that resulted in the mountain being named SLIDE MOUNTAIN
