This photo shows one of the stair roads leading from Married Man Trail farther up the hillside. Married Man Trail follows the river from a higher street down to Creek Street. Originally, the married miners lived higher on the hill than the single men. They'd follow the creek down to the red light district, where Dolly, the main madam, charged them an extra 50 cents as a fee to clean up all the mud they brought down with them! Today's version of Married Man Trail is now a board walkway and not muddy at all.
