Mountaineering
Spectacular hike down the canyon to the river. Needs scrambling skills and sometimes a good sense of orientation as the path is not clear in some areas. You may need help to pass some obstacles if you're not super fit. A clear recommendation for the adventurous.

Hiking
This trail has some intense scrambling. Be prepared to climb. There is a dropoff of 20ft, about a mile from the trailhead--but instead of descending there, stay to the right and you will see where you can climb down more easily. There are rockpiles to guide your way, if you look for them. I recommend hiking with a partner, so you can hoist each other up or catch each other on the descent. Nothing technical (at least in the lower trail). There are sometimes potholes that you have to wade through.
