This
is a pleasant hike that starts with the old road winding through the
woods along a steep slope. In about one mile the trail drops to the
river where there are several campsites. The next 1.3 miles bring
you to a magnificent sight of a waterfall on the other side of the
river. Right before and right after this spot there are several campsites.
For the remaining distance the trail goes through the woods and every
now and then the river can be seen. The trail ends at Boulder Ford,
which has several campsites. 
Some time ago the trail use to continue further to Three
Fingers lookout, but now it is hard to find. Crossing the river
can be a big challenge. Use of livestock is prohibited on the trail.
