This is a spectacular gorge and the view from the trail is exceptional. We loaded our bikes onto the Stehekin bus and took it to the end of the road at High Bridge. From there, we hiked the beautiful 2.5 miles to the end of the trail. The dogwood were in full bloom and the greenery lovely.
This is a great hike for older children but there are a couple steep sections where it would be very important to keep them close at hand. At the end of the trail, we made our way down to the water's edge by continuing to head upstream and there are some very easy ways to get to the water.
We retraced our steps and then headed down the road on our bikes - stopping at the wonderful Bakery on our return. We loved the combination of bus, hike, bike, and bakery buns!
