Gathering before the hike

We're off!

Baghera knows the trail so he takes the lead

Short break before tackling the steepest section

Scouter Kevin appears to have a lot of energy

Checking out the nearly dried up creek

Looking down on one of the switchbacks in the trail

Stairs actually help in some of the steepest sections

Almost to the top of the trail

Water break at the top

Ready to head out again

Just as careful coming down

Picture of the trestle does not show the incredible height and length of this section of rail

Short rest under a fallen tree

Gathering around an airshaft

The airshaft is blocked, but it still doesn't look safe

At the mouth of the gold mine

Just 3 cubs at a time

view from the mouth of the tunnel

If you look carefully you can see a small salimander in the mine

view from the mine end

crickets in the mine

Another short break just up from the Miner's Spring

After safely crossing the highway, on the trail back to base

narrow path between the highway and the river

viewing the collection of garbage recovered from the side of the highway

Scout closing

Cub Closing

Good Night!
