Beautiful river and canyon. Some guy with Florida plates was parked in the middle of the ramp prepping his raft. Otherwise, easy to launch and great facilities. If you’re lucky you will find Matt’s riverside lunches on the river. Watch out for the rumored second day hot dogs though.

There's parking above and you can walk the road down or take a semi steep but safe staircase/trail shortcut down.
