Running
You come down off the hills and come to a gorgeous water crossing. The river had to be 50 yards wide. During the rain and snow melt season the river has to be flowing pretty good. Great place to stop, have a snack, and soak in the views.

The water level of this creek is dependent on the time of year. Like a lot of the water crossings along the Black Canyon Trail, there are a bunch of shade trees down next to the water that serve as a great resting spot if you're in need.
