Alysia and I went for a hike up to Hite Cove in 2005. We wanted to get out and possibly see some wildflowers and scenery. We weren’t disappointed. We hiked in from where the South Fork of the Merced joins the Merced River at Savage’s Trading Post. The hike is pretty easy; following the South Fork, you climb roughly +500 ft in 5 miles (one-way).

Telegraph City
I had wanted to check out this area for a while, and one day, we were able to meet up with a few exploring buddies and go out there.
Golden Crown Mine
The Golden Crown mine is up at 10,640 ft along the Sierra crest in Yosemite National Park. The hike to get up there is a nice 3.7 mile and 950 ft hike to the mine right at Mono Pass. The views of Mono Lake from this high vantage
Song and Star Mines
Not their real names. Morgan, Ric, and I were out exploring the Stanislaus National Forest in 2004, hunting for some interesting mines. These two old steam hoists in separate mines were great and rarely seen out in the wild.
No directions to these sites.
