Trail Length: 1.5 miles in and out
Difficulty: Strenuous
This trail is not as steep or rocky as the Lower Two-Mile Trail, but it is still rugged and steep. This one is a little more developed and seems to get a good bit of use as it’s at the main junction in the canyon and there are picnic tables and outhouses at the top.
The trail descends a few switchbacks 3/4 mile down to the canyon floor where there are some nice boulders and rocks to hop out to a great vantage point in the middle of the river. A good place to spend some time resting for the ascent back up the trail. It’s short, but steep so you will be winded, but it’s easily navigable. There are benches just in case. Definitely worth your time.
