I have to disagree with above. This is about 9 miles full round trip down to the river and back. I've done it 3 times now. I recommend downloading the All Trails app.
9 miles
Correct 9 miles out and back. Trail does get very narrow at times so if ur pets are mindful.... They'll be ok but if there not this is not the trail for. Them
There are a few different trails near the bottom...so distance can vary. If you stay on the main trail and go down to the river it will be right about 9 miles.
9 miles round-trip, 1,739 feet of elevation change. So be prepared for some uphill and down hill hiking. But there are some fantastic views and a mine cave that goes into the mountain pretty far.
The entire trail is approx 4 miles either way but you can get down to the river in about 2 miles in. Also the first mile is not great.
