Just north of Nordman ID a grove of ancient red cedars has survived an untold number of wildfires and has escaped the timberman’s axe.   A trail winds its way among the stately trees.  Some are nearly 2000 years old.  Damp earth and a thick layer of needles muffle our footsteps.  This is a silent, awe inspiring place.

Once we cross a ridge the sound of Granite Creek reaches our ears. We parallel the creek as it cascades down the mountain.  Soon we find the waterfall that slides majestically across erosion carved stone.
