THE VORTEX

The Vortex is amazing, I felt like I was in a different world.  This hike took my breath away. There was  a bit of hiking in sand and I didn't take my kids all the way to the top where the Vortex is. I went twice,with kids and without.  This is right out of Gunlock.  How many times have you been to Gunlock and probably had no idea this gem of a hike was hidden behind it. You take the first right as you come into Gunlock.  It's a dirt road but a good road for any cars.  The road goes past a little lake called Lower Sand Cove, then in about a half mile the dirt road crosses over a stream and take that right turn.  There is a parking area but it is not marked so I parked anywhere.  It really is easy to find.

The actual Vortex.  It was so cool, it's deeper than it looks but I couldn't get
a good picture with the lighting.
