    Took advance of having sierras car and drive to a hike! First real hike of the trip, a good 9ish km. Very much like Canada for parts of it. Very interesting history with the sluicing of a whole canyon for gold mining, and a restored gold rush era hut, and some nice views of waterfalls and mountains. The sluiced canyon was created by pressurized water so gold could be found. Totally changed the landscape and the trees are just starting to reclaim it

    Tried filming some documentary like hiking shots haha
