Lytle creek Question.

[Nicksan]

How far up lytle creek should I go to find a little color? Should I go up past where the paved road ends or is anywhere before that ok?
I was driving by a week ago and there were a few people right at the entrance in a little canyon digging and sluicing.

Lytle can have up to 50m of overburden. I've hunted up there many times with both my Gold Bug and sluice. Found a nice picker once as well as some interesting, but unknown hot rocks with veins in them.

If you want to sluice go to the East Fork San Gabriel river first or Blue Cut El Cajon pass second.
