On Monday morning, after all the Sunday snow, 9 hikers walked along Alder Creek. We took due note of the alder bushes/trees, the big twisted Douglas-fir, and the meanders of the creek.
Next hike: Next Monday with Linda and Wayne Moulds at 9 a.m. at the South Fork Visitor Center.
Alder Creek does wander here and there.
The ultimate "easy" hike.

The "Kern Thumb" depicted by Stuart Bryan in his "Fremont's Fourth ..." book, p 105. This is about 1/4 mile above the
Forest Service Guard Station--a special place close to home and seldom visited. No vandalism, please!
This formation is above the confluence of West, East, and Middle Alder Creeks. Fremont took the gentle-looking but
suddenly narrow canyon up to near the location of Hansen's Mill.
