The only awe inspiring views of this section occur when the path rises above the river, providing over-looks of wild flower dotted meadows. The trail is wide and well packed, with occasional sections of exposed rock. This section of the route is moderate, with only a few short, steep parts. Finally, the path exits the forest into a sagebrush covered flat, surrounded on three sides by steeply carved ridges. This is the first opportunity to see Kings Peak, a pyramid-shaped point between two peaks at the south end of the valley.
Beautiful campsites lie along the east side on a slight knoll above the water.
Both are noisy and can quickly compromise the wilderness spirit. The trail to Dollar lake splits from the main route in a clump of trees near the six and a half mile mark. Another mile up the trail is a right-hand turn to Henrys Fork Lake and additional tent sites. This is a more popular destination and can get a little crowded. Before taking off on day two, the ample streams and lakes in the area can be used for recharging water suppliers.
