At the trailhead: "Gulf Hagas: the Grand Canyon of the East." Perhaps this is a bit of an exageration!

The hike starts here

Lots of markings high up on the trees. For cross-country skiing?
|
|
|
|
|
 |
We saw lots of mushrooms and other fungi
|
|
 |
Also we saw lots of water
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
There were lots and lots of rough cut logs to keep us above the wet trail
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The trails were well marked
|
|
 |
Lots of roots on the trails to trip you up if you don't pay attention
|

Most of the time we couldn't see the river because of the thick growth of trees, but there were quite a few spurs to get to the riverside. Often we could hear the river but not see it.

This was a typical view of the river, peeking through the openings in the trees
|
|
 |
There are lots of side streams to feed the river
|
|
 |
Some mushrooms love company!
