Beautiful Trailhead that leads to a stunning trail. Parking at this site requires a recreation pass that must be purchased from Forest Service offices or vendors.

This lovely stretch of beautiful trail follows the river bank through a tranquil setting of pine and fir. The water moves so slowly in some places it almost seems still. …

Great location to view the pristine water and the beautiful everchanging colors of the surrounding Aspen trees. Excellent spot for birdwatchers with plenty of different species native to the area. During the summer months, plenty of rafters float this stretch.
