“Best Sunset views this close to town”
Leaving downtown going west past Thumb Butte and past the Skull Valley Lookout with a brief stop, we continue to the end of Thumb Butte Loop Road and head down towards Skull Valley for a short distance before turning off the main road onto a rough power line maintenance road to a view point with steep hills and views of the Skull Valley area as well as the Gabarina Hill Mines.
Short break with photo opportunities and then return trip on Copper Basin Road past Aspen Creek back into downtown.
"This tour was absolutely epic. Sweeping and breathtaking are not enough to describe our experience."
