Stunning out and back trip with waterfalls, deep pools, ruins, and petroglyphs. Catwalk Recreation Area to Tennessee Meadows via trails 207 and 212. Length: 14.5 miles. Elevation gain: 2,300 ft. Items of Interest: There is a rich history of gold and silver mining in this canyon dating back to the late 1800s. Our campsite at the confluence of S. Fork and Whitewater Creeks was a miner camp and the Powerhouse supplied energy for the processing mill for the gold and silver ore. The original Catwalk carried a water supply pipe that had to be elevated above the box canyon. Shout out to Justin and his trail crew for the work they did on 212.
