Hiking (mostly bushwhacking) 1:09:55 [3] 1.78 mi (39:16 / mi) +814ft 27:24 / mi
A little exploratory hike to see if I could find the Unkamit Trail at the top of Goldmine Brook Falls in the Chester-Blandford State Forest.
My starting point was where Goldmine Brook crosses Route 20 just east the Sanderson Brook Waterfall parking area.
The trail climbs steeply and takes you past multiple waterfalls; with the recent rain they were full and flowing strongly, making for an impressive viewing experience.
But my goal was to find a trail, which may or may not, be marked. Alas, I only found one tree with two blazes on it, but no other trees nearby. I did find another trail to the south that climbed up the big Goldmine Brook re-entrant, and I did find a north-south road at a higher elevation that might actually be the Unkamit Trail. I'll have to get the locals to take me along the trail before too long.
