We have been on some beautiful hikes in celebration of my birthday; this one was no less gorgeous. Located around old mining activities, access to Trail 109 was only recently opened, and is now being recognized as an exceptional hike. The trail follows Crow Creek, only diverting from it when the trail gains elevation and levels off in a colorful meadow where we sighted a fox. All this beautiful enjoyment climaxes after descending back down to the creek at the site of the falls. JIR
