Mineral Creek Trailhead.



Entering the first section of narrows.

Some minor rock-hopping within the narrows.


The narrows continue, but now have a slickrock floor.



View back along the slickrock.



One of a couple of small waterfalls along the slickrock-laiden section of narrows.


View back down the narrows.

A cool-looking pinnacle at the head of the narrows.

The narrows open up for a bit and the trail continues along Mineral Creek.


Second section of narrows begins.

Interesting water-carved feature.


Within the second set of narrows.


It's a short section, but very pretty.

Mineral Creek leaves the narrows.


Continuing along Mineral Creek.

Some old ruins at Cooney. There's more farther up.

Looking back down Mineral Creek.

Continuing along a more open section.


Approaching some more mining ruin remains.

I don't know what it is, but there's this old thing, plus the remains of a brick wall out of frame.

Continuing up Mineral Creek, where the trail becomes slightly less obviously traveled. Some old pipe that I argue should probably be removed, but others likely think it's "historic".


Particularly pretty section along the Mineral Creek Trail.




I reached a picnic table. Shortly after is a mining ruin.

Mining ruin ahead.

Concrete foundation and some old wooden structure.

Foundation ruins.

I continued farther up Mineral Creek for a few hundred more feet, where it became a bit cozy and lesser-traveled. And then the trail got too rough to be fun and I turned back.
