Gold Creek 1-22-2016

Looking back, a few miles in from trailhead

First major stream crossing without a bridge. Knee deep at other end. July.

2nd stream crossing only 5 minutes later. As it was in the shadows, the depth was hard to tell, but it certainly looked deeper after the large rock. Turned around due to time of day.

2nd stream crossing. Creek too high to rock-hop.

2 bridges over 2 creeks. These will be dry in a few weeks

Coral root

Gold Creek recreational area. Up the road/trail about a mile from Gold Creek pond near the parking lot
