Details: This is a private site for collecting beautiful quartz and pyrite crystals. For more information go to the Geology Adventures website.
Some info from http://cashandtreasures.wikifoundry.com/page/Washington, "General description: some of the world's best specimens of crystallized quartz and pyrite have been found on this high mountain ridge. Privately owned, the property is open to guided collecting trips in August & Sept., run by Geology Adventures.
Handy to bring along: 1. Hiking boots 2. Big backpack carried by strong back. 3. Assorted cold chisels
Helpful notes to newcomers: People with knee or back problems, or acrophobia will not enjoy this hike. The trail gains 1000 ft. in elevation in 1/2 mile. You will enjoy the spectacular view from the ridge, and the great minerals!"
Directions: I'm not sure about the directions. From http://cashandtreasures.wikifoundry.com/page/Washington, "How to get there: 1. Make reservation with Geology Adventures. Caretaker on property will not allow visitors except on guided tours. 2. Drive a high clearance vehicle to trip meeting place near North Bend, WA."
