What a nice and easy scenic hike this was! The trail is extremely well trodden (can't miss it) and very flat. We walked along a clear blue river, which was very wide and quite rapid at points. The old growth was very wet and mossy, as it is in other parts along the Mtn. Loop Highway that we have hiked. There were a few stream crossings which would have been easy with waterproof shoes and gators, but were only mildly challenging without (there were s few soft logs we walked over).
The trail comes out 3 1/2 miles from the beginning on a continuations of the highway. We stopped and had a snack on a grassy patch. My boyfriend wandered over to the other side of the road and saw some garbage and a dead cat. This was the only bad part of the trip.
Even the highway getting there was nice. A curvy, fun drive through the valley, with mountains on all sides (highway 530). Would definitely do this hike again especially with younger kids or people who are not much for climbing.
