mineral canyon, south fork
This past Tuesday I did a short hike in the South Fork of Mineral Canyon which runs somewhat parallel to Mineral Bottom Rd off of Rt 313. Don't believe I've ever encountered some a cantilevered rock formation as pictured below. Most be at least 15 feet of extension. Shade providing, yes, yet a bit nerve wracking to stand under.
Probably hiked a total length of 1.5 miles within the canyon. In that short distance saw a total of 7 arches including a very delicate one at the entry point down into the fork. Apparently, there also was a natural bridge just up canyon from Mineral Canyon Arch, however, assuming I was at the right place, that bridge has collapsed.
