Description

This mini gorge of bedrock was named after the boof log entrance served up a beating, so Irwin called it Fighting Miner. The creek makes a hard right had turn after exiting the underpass/tunnel. This chunky dropping cascade bears more bedrock in 2015 than it did in early 2013. Lots of trees are regularly getting hung up in this canyon, so pre-scout or get out.
