Mineral Creek Trailhead

I was here for the hike and didn't realize camping was actually allowed until I saw the sign at the trailhead (see photos). According to the national forest website, "Parking is available overnight; occupancy and use at the trailhead is dawn to dusk." We saw one firepit in the parking area, and a couple more pits shortly into the hike. The hike itself is amazing--about 3 miles one way through a beautiful canyon and 32 creek crossings (if I counted correctly!) to old mining ruins. Did not stay here, but thought I'd add it for anyone else who may be interested! The hike itself is 5-star, but I rated this "campsite" as 3-star because I'm not a fan of parking lot-style camping.
