Today I took Exit 38 and drove up the service road to Garcia, where I parked. I then walked up NF9020 en route, I hoped, to the top of Zig Zag Trail.
However, what I wanted to do and what I expected to be able to do were two different things. I expected to be stopped at the Mine Creek Junction due to fast moving high water. And that’s what I found:
So I just turned around and went back, although when I got to where the car was parked I strolled west about .75 mile to the Mine Creek Bridge (where Mine Creek is at its largest and strongest) to take in the view.
About 5.3 miles, rather hilly going up to where I turned around. It was a good workout. Random images:

Heads Up
Gotta love a good workout in such an awesome place on a perfect sunny day.
