\"Overview\"<\/a>

Overview<\/p><\/div>\n

A couple of days ago I slipped on some gravel beside my RV and fell on a landscape timber. I had some sore ribs for a while, but today I felt up to taking a hike.<\/p>\n

\"Coming<\/a>

Coming down to the river.<\/p><\/div>\n

There is a short trail – no more than a mile I would guess – that loops down into a canyon beside the campground. <\/p>\n

The trail is quite steep going down but switchbacks make it easier to navigate. <\/p>\n

\"Stepping<\/a>

Stepping Stones to cross stream.<\/p><\/div>\n

At the bottom the trail follows the stream for about a half mile and then climbs back up to the campground. <\/p>\n

\"More<\/a>

More of the canyon.<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s quite pretty walking along the water with the cliff walls towering over you. The stream is overflow from the dam that creates Bluewater Lake. I was told that a certain amount of water has to be released for the Indian reservation down below. <\/p>\n

\"View<\/a>

View from above.<\/p><\/div>\n

At the bottom of the canyon you can turn upstream and hike to the dam. That will be for another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
