Gee Creek Trail

After stopping at an outpost and picking up additional info and maps, we decided to try out Gee Creek Trail in Delano. When we arrived at the trail head, there was a young couple that told us they’d hiked it before and there wasn’t a falls. They said maybe the falls were on the Starr Mountain trail across the little parking area. So we hiked maybe half a mile up that trail before deciding to turn back and. Try Gee Creek. Starr Mountain was a nice wooded trail but we really wanted to see the creek. As we were starting down Gee Creek trail we met the young couple and they told us there was indeed a water fall at the end of the trail. It is a nice level and wide trail for the first half mile or so with smaller trails off of it which lead down to the water and some nice cascades. You come to a wooden bridge across the creek and then the trail begins to climb up past several small falls and cascades until you finally reach the big falls at the end of the trail which is a real treat. It looked like you could scale the rocks around the falls to get to the very top but we had Bodie with us today so that adventure will have to be postponed.
