Mineral Creek Trail   One of my favorite hikes in the world. Unfortunately, a major flood occurred in Mineral Creek Canyon in 2008, leaving many deadfalls and logjams to make hiking a little more difficult. On a positive note, the canyon is still as beautiful as ever,with steep, nearly vertical walls, clear water and many different types of birds present.
