Excellent hike. Coming back you'll feel every step as it's all uphill at the end. This out and back is truly beautiful and one of my favorite backpacking trails. You'll need a permit which you can get the day before you go. As a local let me tell you this hike is best done sept-oct or March-May. In the summer getting a pass is very difficult. River Water tastes very earthy as cattle graze in the mountains above. Tastes kinda like cucumbers.
