Hike Summary: Thr trail starts just above the dicks creek bridge on on the right and is blazed blue. After about .5 miles you start to see rock overhangs, nice place to camp. You will hike under the overhangs and along the river for most of the trail. at about 2 miles you cross a small foot bridge. At 3.5 miles you have to do some rock hopping in the river and under the overhangs. There are several nice places here to stop for a break. Just before the end of the trail you cross another short foot bridge. The trail ends at a parking area where FR87 and FR92 join. From here you can either walk FR87 back to your car (7.1 miles total)or back track the trail (8.4 miles total).
