Money Creek

Lake Elizabeth is the headwaters of Money Creek which empties into the Skykomish River. The Forest Service road that goes to Lake Elizabeth follows the creek for much of its distance. This photo was taken along that road by my wife. The creek was named by miners who prospected for gold, silver and copper in the area, but who were, as someone said, "more optimistic than successful."
