This is actually a pretty good trail except for a few areas where it's really rocky. It's also easy to miss the switchback when running south and then east along the trail. The trail was well shaded with the river nearby on most of it. There were a couple of spots with fairly steep climbs, but all-in-all it was a lot of fun. Do be careful on the descents because it's easy to slip on the all the rocks. Jun 16, 2018
