Nearing the end, this questionable traverse across what looks to me like an avalanche chute turned me around twice this winter, but garners no issues come summer.

When a day doesn't turn out quite as planned, you find sometimes the best things are not what you came for.

Nearing the end, this questionable traverse across what looks to me like an avalanche chute turned me around twice this winter, but garners no issues come summer.
When a day doesn't turn out quite as planned, you find sometimes the best things are not what you came for.
These are a few of the remains of the Alpine Mine.
The trail draws back into another heavily wooded patch.
Whitehouse Mountain stands above the headwaters of Oak Creek, where a lost mining lode is said to exist.
The trail follows Oak Creek for most of its entirety.
Raging waterfalls pock Oak Creek early in the spring. This one creates a particularly challenging creek crossing.
