Be sure to wear sturdy shoes, as the river side of the trail is narrow and rocky. If you hike the trail during the winter, the views are unobstructed of the surrounding mountains and lake below.

It is recommended that you allow at least 1.5 hours to enjoy the hike. Even though it's only a 1.5-mile hike, the rugged terrain takes a little longer to navigate.
