The hike down to the river is pretty easy, but remember to conserve some energy for the return trip. Since you're hiking down to a river you'll be ascending on the way back. The river itself is a beautiful mountain flow that varies wildly throughout the seasons. If you're here in spring or early summer expect high water levels as the snowmelt from higher elevations rushes downhill.
