Hike Summary:	This Trail is from the start all down hill, and then it flatens out when you get to the bottom where the creek is. There is alot of good swimming holes along this creek and there are camp spots that are along the creek. There is a large area for quite a few people to camp in one spot if you take a left at the bottom of the trail and several smaller places all along the trail that follows the creek. Mountain Bikers use this trail also so keep that in mind when traveling this trail. It is all up hill once you start back up and it is about a mile and a half or so back to the top.
