Description
Easy. Climbs gradually. Easy to find, clear, in fair condition. Some muddy spots. The last few hundred feet to the base of the falls is not a trail; more like boulder-hopping through the creek. Bears are uncommon on the trail and probably avoid it during the day, but this is a very fishy river, so be bear aware.
