Please note grizzly bear precautions if camping along the trail. Poisonous snakes or plants are not a problem here. Maintaining the quality of an outdoor recreation experience requires a land use philosophy that is the responsibility of everyone. Take only pictures and leave only footprints. For area closures and other restrictions, please obtain the Island Park District Travel Plan map available at the Island Park Ranger Station.
Hikers can see the river change from a placid stream to raging rapids.
