Already it's the second half of the month. 🍁 September is rapidly fading into October, with lots of color and cooler weather for the coming weeks and months. I'm so busy these days, but look forward to many adventures in changing seasons.

Goldmine Stream Falls

Looking for some golden refreshment on a hot summer day? Or a quiet place to sit and observe the golden waters of Goldmine Stream, colored by sulfur in the granite to make the water a golden color on sunny days?

Hike 1.5 miles west along a herd path, marked by a water bottled tied to a tree with bailing twine. The trail is roughly 200 feet south of Campsite 14.
