Gold Discoveries In Seven Troughs Canyon in 1905 led to the birth of Seven Troughs two years later.  The 350 people in Seven Troughs had a post office, saloons and stores.  A water system and school district were established in 1908.  By 1918, most of the activity had ceased.  Seven Troughs is well secluded.  Wood is available for campfires.

UPDATE:  (2008 trip)  The structures pictured above have fallen and the mine now appears as below.
