Hiking
Walk north a couple feet from the trailhead to see the ruins of an old rail bridge that stretches across the ford. You can walk on part of the bridge quite safely, though most of the middle is washed away. From here you can explore south along the river via the John Muir Trail and Leatherwood Trails, or head north to Angel Falls.
