Plenty of Mosquitoes 🦟🦟 Don’t get stranded out here unprepared there’s no reception. Carrying a satellite beacon is a good idea just incase…if I remember correctly 3.8 miles down hill and 2800ft elevation difference from the trailhead to the river. Carry lots of water(camelbak ideally) there’s only one tiny little creek to fill up from on the way down. Not sure about this but it seems that it may dry out during a dry season A nice wooded “base camp” by the river. Another 2.7 miles upstream from there A beautiful waterfall with a nice pool and cliffs to jump off. You’ll have to work for it though! Everyone I ever took here said it’s the most intense hike they’ve ever been on. My friend Mike says “It’s not a hike! It’s an adventure!”

Big campgrounds for big tents and families. It was Free summer 2018. No running water!!! One toilet in the center of 4 Campgrounds.. Amazing hiking Trail.. I enjoyed being there, If you are not the type of person that likes rough camping , chopping your own wood , no running water and hiking. This place isn't for you.

Beautiful historic trail. Went backpacking with my wife and 4 kids. Nice camp site on the north side of the river. Fewer mosquitoes. Lots of elevation change. Hard on the knees on the way in and hard climb on the way out. Blackberry bushes can be tricky to navigate in spring/summer. Lots of wildlife. Saw bears and one mountain lion. Probably close to 100 water snakes. They actually got prett... Beautiful historic trail. Went backpacking with my wife and 4 kids. Nice camp site on the north side of the river. Fewer mosquitoes.

Saw bears and one mountain lion. Probably close to 100 water snakes. They actually got pretty aggressive in the late afternoon. Cool small waterfall flows into a nice swimming hole. Try swimming under the waterfall.

Difficult but good hike. Don't forget the deet; I got 38 mosquito bites from an overnight trip. For some reason it was hotter down by the river than on the ridge, but I went during an especially hot week.
