    I loved this hike. Backpacked into camp about 1.25 miles in along the river. It’s a day hike for most, but we’d completed other hikes earlier in the day.

    This is a moderate track with enough elevation gain and drop that it gives a decent challenge. There are numerous geological sites, a small waterfall, and a very nice streamside area. To complete the loop you have to do about half a mile on the road.
