Easy trail. Well shaded. Pretty. The hike down to the bend for a quick dip isn't tough. Beautiful swimming hole with cliff jumping, a small sand beach and rapids.

This is a spectacular trail to explore. It offers it all. Wooden Bridges, springs, seasonal waterfalls, river access (be prepared for strenuous hike to the river and nudity though), pack some water and food and enjoy what nature offers. Please pick up your dogs deposits and pack out your trash so everyone can enjoy.

I've read that about 1.5 miles of the West trail, that I hiked in this trip, is accessible for wheelchairs and walkefs. That's why John D. Olmsted and others built it the way it is. A friend of John's was handicapped and in a wheelchair. He asked John if he could design a trail tbat people in wheelchairs or walkers could use and enjoy nature.
