Drive down the canyon for 2.7 miles and turn left onto a small road. Follow the road over a bridge and park on the right just after the bridge. If you’re coming from the Minden area the turn onto the small road is 2.1 miles up canyon from the Mama Cat Boulder parking area. APPROACH: Walk downstream, following sometimes faint trails that stay fairly close to the river for 20 minutes until the trail veers left and uphill and goes by a small crag. Continue on the trail, uphill on switchbacks for 15 minutes until the trail levels out on a plateau. You should be looking at a clean white boulder named the “Silver Dollar.” The trail splits right and left here. Cut right (east) for a few minutes to the Main Area or cut left to the West Area.
