Boulder River

We got to the trailhead around noon and spent a pleasant few hours hiking along the river and past the falls. The trillium are out in full force, along with wild bleeding heart and yellow violets. Lots of water in the falls and in the river. I had forgotten how rough the trail gets once you are past the first pair of falls. Poles would have been helpful navigating some of the slippery roots and rocks.

The blowdowns that were on the trail in November have been cleared and there were lots of families and people with dogs on the trail. Most people don't leash their dogs if that is a concern.
