Description
Starting at the trailhead parking lot, there are trail information boards, an interpretive plaque describing the trail's namesake, and a bridge across the rushing South Saint Vrain. After that, the trail winds through the forest next to the river, occasionally climbing a short ways above the water before eventually returning. The trail proper ends at Forest Service Road 252, where hikers may continue 1 mile west to Miller Rock, a scenic point with a 360-degree view.
