The Middle Fork Valley is home to a variety of wildlife including bears and mountain lions.
Many people never have an encounter, but visitors to Goldmyer should educate themselves. Information available via US Forest Service website here, here, and here.
There is no cell or internet service. Be smart and only drive as far as seems safe. Anticipate hiking farther.
We cannot make reservations for same-day and next-day visitors. If there are openings on the calendar, same-day and next-day visitors must attempt as walk-ins. Walk-ins have no guarantee of entry and are first come, first served. Walk-ins pay caretakers on property in exact cash.
We do not operate a waitlist. If a day reads FULL on the calendar then we are booked to capacity.
Access to Goldmyer is limited to 20 people per day in order to preserve the wilderness environment and avoid over-use.
