Bear Basin access (Treasure/Treasury)

Post by Boggy B »

Having used this approach recently, we discovered that the access situation has changed. As of May 2018, longtime resident Chris Cox now owns all the private land in and around Crystal. This includes the Crystal Mill and all access to Bear Basin from the north. Chris plans to allow hiking access to Bear Basin through his property, but all users will be required to sign a waiver, which can be obtained by inquiring at the general store in Crystal.
