Hadn't been to this trail in at least 10 years!? (sorry to say) It remains a quintessential NW river runner. Shades of McKenzie, Middle Fork, but it is its own thing. Strikingly beautiful along the river. Near perfect definition of "singletrack," but in an oh-so Washington kind of way.  The trail was in excellent shape, covered in a light bedding of pine needles, skinny and fast thru dense ferns and greenery. Caveat: we did not ride the full trail, started at the Lower Falls Campground and rode about halfway and flipped-around for out/back as we were out of time.  Can't wait to get back!
