  You'll love hiking this trail along the river, at the top of the precipice, under waterfalls, over streams, and in the clouds. Good sturdy shoes are a requirement. Prepare to get a little mud on the shoes. In summer you may want to wear your water/hiking shoes as it will be cooling to ford the streams rather than do the rock jumping exec rices. Our youngest is 5 and our oldest is 70. The trail is 2 miles up to the Punchbowl. The trail continues for a total of 13.5 miles. We stopped at the Punchbowl. Bring plenty of water and a trail mix because you will need the energy. Elevation change of about 700 feet. Trail is well traveled, but rough with stones and water all along the way. You will be in the wilderness as soon as you leave I-84. Took us about 3.5 hours for the round trip. Would classify this trail as intermediate. Well worth your time.
