Discovering Cedar Flats- Mom and Daughter Backpacking

Mom: We hiked 4 miles from the trailhead and found a great spacious campsite near Opal Pool. "Camp sweet Camp" for the night. We slept so soundly!
Amy: All dressed up and ready to explore.
Mom: In the morning, all I had to say was "dried mango" and Amy crawled out of her sleeping bag at the surprisingly early hour of 7:15am.
Amy: A very nice waterfall.
Mom: We headed across the bridge to explore the trail heading into Cedar Flats.
Amy: A nice waterfall on the way to Cedar Flats.
Mom: The trail became more brushy and secluded. The creek was even more beautiful!
Amy: The really tall Cedar trees.
Mom: I loved how the morning light was hitting the forest. I greatly enjoyed these 500-1000 year old trees.
Amy: A nice stream.
Mom: We took some time to sit by the water and soak in the view.
Amy: The trees are very tall.
Mom: Beautiful Cedar Flats!
Amy: We followed 2 logs.
Mom: The long downed trees and tall, tall canopy above.
Amy: The 2nd tree we crossed.
Mom: This little waterfall is near a really nice campsite. We will keep this in mind for the future.
Amy: A nice little pond.
Amy: Welcome to Jawbone Flats.
Mom: All the old mining equipment in Jawbone Flats.
Amy: Mining carts.

Mom: An old mineshaft to enjoy. We clicked down the miles to make 7 for the day. We went home refreshed and ready to reunite with family!
