Bearbnz, that road is now in bad shape and your best bet is to park at a decent area at the 7000 foot level and walk the rest of the way up to the mine. We tried going further but at a cost to our paint jobs and a large rock stopped us at the 7500' level. Not worth it. Overall, it is a bit more than a mile and a quarter or so from the area we parked to the mine. See pic HERE.
