An Attempt to Get Into Mineral King

Was Trail Guy really attempting to get into Mineral King? Or was he just having a fun day with his buddy Mike? Whatever the motivation, they didn’t make it to the end of the road but they did have a good time together.

The photos aren’t in any particular order, and I can’t identify where each photo was taken. They were snow avalanches, and what shows is all the debris left behind.

The waterfall looks camouflaged here. It is the one called “Three Falls Below The Gate”; can you pick it out?

The redbud is still quite beautiful on the lower part of the road. Isn’t the color brilliant after all the browns up the road?

  1. Well, I love the photos of progress up the road!!!

  2. Wow! Isn’t nature wonderful. A lesson in patience …

    • And a lesson in seasonal timeliness. . .

  3. They got so close . . . and yet so far away! Those avalanches look quite formidable. I wonder when we’ll get access??

    • Sharon, things can change so quickly, with a big storm, a big piece of equipment, or a seemingly small decision by the Park to either go after it or ignore it. More will be revealed in the fullness of time. . .
