Boulder River

This was an
excellent early-season dayhike. Like the trail reports section says, the river is roaring and the waterfalls during the first sections are beautiful. This was our first time on the trail and the initial railroad grade had us thinking it would be a cakewalk. But once you get a little more than two miles in, it has a nice up and down grade through very quiet old-growth forest. We ran into a few other groups of hikers and boy scouts, but otherwise it was pretty empty even though the trailhead lot was pretty full. A great way to kick off the summer hiking season.
