About This Trail

Imported description

This is a great trail in a remote area. The river is beautiful, especially further north, where it widens out with some large boulders and rock outcroppings. The trail is cakewalk difficulty-wise if it weren't for the river crossing. The southern and northern trailheads are the only places where you can climb. The northern portions of the trail are subject to heavy rains. There can be a lot of water flowing after a day or two of rain. The trail blazes can be a little confusing.
