On the way down to Pachalka Spring Road, I see a faint road rising up a steep hill toward an old mining area

The road ends at a tailings pile at upper left, which would be worth checking out, but I'm feeling a bit tired and lazy at this point. I didn't notice this road when I passed it earlier today.
