The trail is approximately half a mile from the bridge to the campsite. The historical Buzzards Roost Ridge Trail was traveled by miners for over 100 years as an alternative way into this part of Nelson Creek. It spanned from Onion Valley at Pilot Peek (north side) for three and quarter miles along Buzzard's Ridge above Poorman, Union, and Dixon Creek Canyon ending at the Buzzard's Rock Spire on Nelson Creek. Along this portion of Nelson Creek there once was a small mining town that was built along the terraces and concrete retaining walls and building foundations can still be found.
