A fantastically beautiful rock-climbing hike down into the gorge. Up to 2 miles depending which trail forks you take. There are spots where you'll need to use your arms for balance or lift yourself between rocks. Descend carefully, this trail could be dangerous.

You can get down to the river level from the right (uphill) fork where the trail splits. Shimmying down a hillside from that trail can lead to another river access spot with sinkholes and miniature caves.

This area is more popular with rock climbers than hikers, but it's great for a short challenging hike. If you're not up to anything tough, you can still easily get to the first gorge overlooks with a half mile walk.

Parking is on the side of the road, just before a curve. The trail is very hard to spot unless you know it's there, you have to walk behind a road barrier and in front of a barbed wire fence at the start of the curve -- street view it first to be sure you know where you're looking for. There's also some parking on the opposite side of the road slightly north.
