Boulder River, Judy in Arlington
My daughter and I took to the trail (with dog) about 10:00 a.m. We weren't sure we would hike to the end of the trail (4.5 Mi), but we "missed" the second waterfall at 3.5, and so kept on, watching for that marker. We arrived at trail's end about 1:30, had a delightful lunch by the water, near tempting campsites, and took about 3.5 hours to trek back to the car.
Road to the trail head is a bit rough, so probably a rugged car or pickup is preferable.
A few mud spots, quite a few log walks, but a delightful hike.
Didn't see any "wild life", so no bear tales for the grandkids, much to my relief!
We met a fair number of hikers ( maybe 6 parties) when we were on our way back, but otherwise we were on our own.
In other words, a wonderful hike! (Knees recovered from the downhill walk nicely by the next day).
