The hike to the Catwalk is 1.1 miles 
but the terrain is uneven and difficult at times - make sure to take water along.

White Canyon

Gold was first discovered in 1859 and the first catwalk was constructed in 1879.
The mine was worked until 1943

The forest service constructed this catwalk in the 60's

The places where the original catwalk was built can still be seen in the rock canyon walls.

Narrow passage in the canyon

A small but refreshing waterfall.

Boulders are tossed everywhere, testifying to the force of the river
