Boulder River — Sunday, Apr. 28, 2024

Decided on Boulder River to jump start my summer hiking trips. I picked it because the trail was rated "easy" but as another person mentioned the posted mileage on this trail is vastly under-estimated!! If you do go all the way to the end of the trail it is not 8 miles but around 10.3 miles round-trip. In addition to the extra miles there are multiple stream crossings and multiple tree blow-downs to hurdle over. At first they are cute but quickly become irritating if you don't have waterproof shoes! So bottom line is if you choose to venture past the second waterfall be prepared for endless miles and multiple stream crossings!
