Definitely go early during the summer. Extremely warm. Look out for rattlesnakes on trail.
Setting and river views are amazing. BUT the trail has many narrow areas with steep drops to the river on one side. Also, there are many bikers on this trail that make the walk a lot less pleasant. Actually, it was anxiety filled - we watched a biker fall and nearly end up in the canyon. I'd advice you pick a different trail - one which does not allow bikes or one wide enough to accommodate both. This one did not.
Easy day hike. small falls & the river. Nice trail for horses. Easy access to trail. Not a lot of shade on this trail so may not want to be out in the afternoon on a hot day.
Awesome view!
Awesome trail. Friendly people all around. Only saw one snake and of course the incredible views this trail offers
Brought our German Shepherd and it was great!
Good trails.
Thin and wet with mild elevation change. Nice walk.
