A couple miles up a very rough Swakane Canyon Road to the gate that prevents you from driving this scenic canyon trail. The hike is steep but the views are amazing. Along the trail in May was all kinds of wildflowers and the trail itself was littered with quartz and interesting rocks. About 3 miles up, the trail turns and continues on along the ridge for what looks like miles, but we stopped, had luck and just enjoyed the views. A fun hike providing great views of the river and surrounding areas.
