About This Trail
This hike on the gold mine trail is very steep and there are a good few places in rough terrain. You intersect it less than a mile away. If you want to get to Cane Creek Trail, you must first turn left and then left again. You can find the campsite by just leaving the 1/2 mile mark. You will have two creek levels to descend from the right into Buchanan Cemetery. It might be worthwhile to go to this old family cemetery. You'll have the creek crossing before hitting the park boundary. You come back the same way.
