The swimming hole is great, usually not too crowded. The loop trail is nice but there are only a few spots to see any vistas and it's all the same view just from different elevations. You never truly reach the summit for any view. The trail itself was just cleaned up this past week and is a lot easier to navigate. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area but nothing like some of the m... The swimming hole is great, usually not too crowded.

The trail itself was just cleaned up this past week and is a lot easier to navigate. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area but nothing like some of the more popular hikes within an hours drive. Great if you want seclusion

Went to the blue bend swimming hole here and had so much fun! Definitely a family spot. The water is a little cold and I'd advise to bring river shoes because the rocks are rough on the feet but besides that it's nice!
