Owen Tolley and Ethan Palmer found nodules of orange calcite filling cavities in basalt in the gorge walls next to the creek in 2015. The first discovery was one softball-sized cavity, exposed on a cliff wall next to the creek which was lined with small, pointed crystals. No other cavities with crystals have been found.
Douglas Creek has a pretty series of waterfalls and pools which then run down into a rather narrow and steep-walled gorge. It is a relatively popular swimming spot and is a nice oasis in the desert.
