On a good day, you really can't beat the scenery for this trail run. The trail itself, however, varies from hard-packed dirt to washed-out mud, depending on what the nearby river has been doing.

Parts of this trail can also get very brushy toward the middle and end of summer, which increases the ever-present odds of a surprise encounter with wildlife like moose and bears. You should be aware of your surroundings and know how to handle a wildlife encounter if it does happen.
