An old dirt pathway winds about the western slope of the mountain, almost circumnavigating the peak. Roughly halfway up, on the western face, it vanishes into a wide tunnel leading into the side of then peak. This steep, angled tunnel leads down into the earth at around a ten degree incline. The road and tunnel are clearly very old, however well maintained. The tunnel seems to have been recently been expanded, and is now much wider then it was originally, though the expansion seems to have relied primarily on brute force, without much skill or knowledge of stone work. The tunnel is now around ten feet wide, roughly circular, and if anything reminds you of a great burrow.
The Old Drift is a steep, angled passage leading from the surface to the chamber of the Old Mines. The Drift is relatively short (only 200 yards long) and steeply angled (approximately 30 degree slope). It opens about 3000 feet up the mountain side (approximately 2/3rds of the way to peak). It has been left unused and unmaintained since the closing of the Old Mine over a hundred years ago, and has eroded into almost a pit rather then a passage, varying in size from 20 feet in diameter at the surface to around 10 feet wide where it enters the mountain.
