After the increasingly worse dirt road through Bishop's Buttermilk Mountains, the Horton Lakes trail follows an old mining road into the hanging valley north of Mt. Tom. If your vehicle can drive as far as the locked gate at the wilderness boundary, it is a 3.8 mile hike to the end of the trail at Lower Horton Lake. Interesting remains of mining history can be seen in this area. Visitors should remember that the Antiquities Act protects all artifacts from being damaged or removed, so be sure to leave historical items where they are.
