Stopped on the way to Idaho for a quick run along the river. The balsamroot is at peak cheerfulness, the lupine is coming on, and the river is HUGE. Lots of folks out enjoying the park camping, hiking, biking, running. Met many dogs, all well behaved and leashed.
Followed trail 25 north abput two miles. It's in great shape *except* for one section where a scree slope has washed the trail down into the river for a 25 ft stretch just shy of 2 miles north of the bridge at Bowl & Pitcher (and before the intersection with the Centennial trail). I picked my way through, but folks with kids may want to opt for the high road on this little section. Was in a hurry, so I forgot to snap a photo. (Coming from the south, it's where the trail descends steeply right after the bench.)
Was such a nice outing, I wsh I had had another hour or two to keep rambling on.
