Seven of us parked at Gold Quartz picnic area to admire the Yuba's beautiful green water and colorful rock face that plunges into the fairly still water. Will there be enough water there for swimming this summer? Then we headed up the dirt road to the Arctic Mine ruins. As usual it was a bit tricky to cross the boulders in Canyon Creek.
From Frank we hiked 7.5 miles. More hikes are mapped here suggesting some exploring in our future. Hobbit house was mentioned by the quad guy.
