Quick notes:
1. Arrived at the trailhead parking lot at 11:30 am and the lot was full. There was parking available at the adjoining camp ground. FS70 off of Hwy 410 is paved and in good condition. The right turn off of FS70 to the trailhead is not signed and is ~9 miles once you turn onto FS70 off Hwy 410.
2. The trail is in good condition. A super hike for families as there are lots of interesting outdoor things. At least seven major (and several minor) bridge crossings, lots of creek and lake access points, and interesting forest and canyon views.
3. No bugs. Toilets at the trailhead (no plumbing) if you need them.
At our departure time (3:00 pm) the parking lot was only half full.
