The goal - 10 mile hike, from my house, up Rainbow to Bullion and back down to home by August 1st. Elevation increases nearly 1000 feet, lots of gradual inclines with a few steep sections. Darin and I drove as far up Rainbow as we could get before the snow and mud made it impassable, 4 miles. We marked every 1/2 mile increment and so far I'm hiking just past the first 1/2 mile mark and back, total of 1.34 miles.
A note on Rainbow, going directly west out of Marysvale, it's known locally as the Rainbow Mine Road. It's Official name is Revenue Gulch Road. As the mines closed, Revenue Gulch Road became less of a thoroughfare and is now maintained as a Fishlake National Forest Service road, #577. In recent years the road has become a designated part of the Paiute ATV Trail system. Rainbow is a 5+ mile section of Paiute ATV Trail #77.
