Approximately five miles one-way, this is a scenic and moderate-rated trail that leads hikers along a river and through meadows.

We got to explore this beautiful trail with old and young hikers (age range 8-50 years). It was a great trail will some slope and loose rock, but not a problem for our family. The water crossings were all either log bridges (so exciting for the kids) or well spaced, dry, solid stepping stones. In 1.5 hours we had seen numerous waterfalls, 2 meadows full of wild flowers and were tired enough to turn around. You can easily hike as far as you want or keep on pushing to the further trails. We took the easy going short hike. Enjoy.

We rented ski equipment here. These folks were so friendly, and accommodating to our needs. The pricing was great too. We ended up buying some ski wear too. No pushy sales people. Very helpful and kind. I have a special needs child and they were very sweet to him and treated him just like a member of their family. I am a travel agent and would highly recommend renting from this place. Their store is amazing as well. We will definitely be back.

Very pretty walk following the river running through the town and among the trees. Fairly flat, easy shaded walk, and you can cross two bridges and double back into town.

Moderate to difficult hike, six miles one way.
Reviewed By Loveroftravels17
Took family old and young up the trail first in two four wheel drive Chevy trucks. Two tough spots but think we could’ve made it. We turned around after first one though. Next day took a razor and mule up the trail! Much more fun for the big and young kids! We had a blast, covered in mud and all! Highly recommended!! Would like to hike to the peak next time!!
