Description: At the upper end of The Flume, the basalt dike narrows down to a crack no wider than a person's outstretched arms. This is practically the only spot where you can see remains of the basalt vein. It’s the dark grayish rock which contrasts sharply with the bright pink granite. Basalt has long since been eroded away downstream of here or is still present but buried under the granite debris.
