I Found a Ghost Mining Town Hiking Near Yosemite!

Highway 140 heading into Yosemite is rife with mineral extraction and railway history. Here I continue the north side route of the Merced River Trail from Briceburg up to the "Ghost Town" of Emory that used to exist in support of the Miller Gulch quarry. With no connecting bridges across the river, it's going to mean hiking! 0:00 Emory: Ghost Town of Miller Gulch 0:34 Briceburg Trailhead 1:51 First Railroad Bridge Remains 2:39 Incline Road Route 4:40 Second Railroad Bridge Ruins, Equipment, and Creek 5:53 Field of Flowers 6:28 Trail Report and Third Railroad Bridge Ruins 7:25 More Wildflowers and Feliciana Bridge 8:15 Fourth Railroad Bridge Ruins 8:57 Trail Fades 9:30 Creek and Old Equipment 10:03 Exiting BLM into National Forest, Old Road 11:09 Beach Break 11:57 Walled Corner 12:10 Unmaintained Area 12:33 Old Equipment and Bed(?) 13:14 Downed Trees and Poison Oak 14:42 Emerging from the Bush 15:18 First Sighting of Emory 15:37 Fifth Railroad Bridge Ruins 15:46 Pool and Creek 16:12 Cable Crossing 17:11 Arrival at Emory 17:28 Boarding House Ramps and Equipment 17:55 Shack Patio 18:10 Bridge Crossing 19:09 Storage Bunker Ruins 21:01 Classic Car Ruins 22:49 Shack and Deck (Previously Freight House?) 24:07 Upper Level Equipment, Building Ruins 24:55 Pen/Garden(?) and Crusher Incline Railway 25:43 Cactus(!) 25:59 Circling Shack Patio 26:39 Boarding House Ruins and Three-Wheeler ATC 27:32 Second Boarding House Ruins 28:09 Stairs and Ramps 28:41 Image Series 29:59 Thanks for Watching! ----- LINKS FROM THIS VIDEO ----- Emory / Miller Gulch History - https://www.yosemitevalleyrr.com/prototype/vrtltour/ "Miller Gulch" Picture - https://www.flickr.com/photos/whsieh78/27659563595 "Emory" Picture - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gotfish_mb/22660443009/ Merced River Trail Vision Plan (2023) -https://www.nps.gov/orgs/rtca/upload/Merced-River-Trail-Vision-Plan.pdf LIKE and SUBSCRIBE and CLICK the BELL for #camping, #hiking, #backpacking, and the gear that goes with it!
