Easier hike into a wooded campground next to a river
This is a pretty easy 5ish mile hike into a wonderful back country campground next to a river. The elevation was a steady increase so you aren't necessarily pushing yourself to climb a big mountain. The downside is you do have to drop about 100 feet to get to the camp sites off of the main trail. There is a privy in the campground but... The good news is you are right next to an amazing river that is winding through the mountains as you relax. The sites aren't plentiful but they are spacious. The trail when we went was clear and even featured a new to use bridge built recently! You no longer have to ford any rivers to continue on the trail! Yay!
