Gold Rush! » Serenity
Upper Twin Lake.
-
- Walking our bikes across a small creek crossing, we made our way into the abandoned townsite of Monte Cristo.
-
- A abandoned cabin overlooks the creek. This very cabin was being torn down the following weekend due to the eventual collapse from erosion and no longer stands.
-
- This sign marked a mine which had been opened again in 1917, after the desertion of Monte Cristo in 1915.
-
- Resembling a primitive graveyard, the granite blocks near the ridge created an almost “sacred” feeling…
-
- Ullr, the snow god, will be appeased. We offered this granite carin in hopes for a plentiful powder season!
-
- Climbing down the nearly 1000 ft. of elevation down to the lakes makes for a strenuous hike back out.
