Trail hugs close to the river bank and is a dangerous trail. Not a high-use riding trail.
This trail is best suited for hikers but bikers might enjoy some chunks of the trail.

Parts of this trail are very close to canyon/cliff edge with consequence.
If going uphill there will be some hike-a-bike.

This trail is unsanctioned.
