River Place Nature Trail Canyon Trailhead

$10 per person fee. Bring lots of water and some snacks. This hike is a pretty serious hike and is about 6 miles out and back with 1,200 Ft of elevation. Set aside 3 hours at least. Very beautiful views and lush greenery. This is probably my favorite hike I’ve been on.

My wife and I enjoy hiking on our vacations and occasionally like a challenge. This was definitely challenging and we loved it. Be prepared for lots of stairs, and if you plan to do the full route, bring lots of water. Since we are in our mid-50’s, we rested periodically and it took a little over 4hrs. Many younger people passed us, but expect at least 3 hrs.

I had the opportunity to visit this place last week and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very well maintained place and the trail overall is not really that hard if you are someone who regularly hikes then it should be okay. Pretty long trail though and if I recall correctly it is around 5.6 miles or so for a return trip. Took my group around 3 hours total. And you can easily up the difficulty by running if you think normal walking is not hard for you. Overall I think this place is good for all people if you are someone into hiking trail + nature. I'd definitely love to come back again!

This is a really nice trail with some areas that are little muddy but otherwise the trail is very passable. It is steep up and down and I would rate it difficult because of that. That's one reason I like it and it did push my knees on the downhill. There's a lovely creek you can dip in and I highly recommend it. Give yourself a few hours to do this if you want to stop in the creek and enjoy yourself.

It's a tough trail! Uphill, both ways! ;-) Really though. Expect to be out about 3 hours or more, depending on your level of fitness. Take time to stop and enjoy the scenery. It's beautiful. There's a LOT of steps! Bring plenty of water and snacks in case you get hungry. Especially water. If you bring your dogs, PLEASE clean up after them. And dispose of waste properly. This is a beautiful trail. Keep it that way!

Great trail with nice built in wooden steps, rollercoaster-ing up & down the hills, nice workout. Pretty rocky in some spots, I would wear boots next time or old shoes, rough on the shoes. Pretty overlook views. There was a weird loud booming sound we kept hearing from a far. Fairly crowded trail on Saturday, passed lots of people. Trail is mostly in shade. Please do not leave your dog's bags along the trail, kindly rid of them yourself, even found one hanging in a tree..? I really liked how there were no tacky garbage cans anywhere, my mother complained a little, but I believe that gives the park a cleaner, & prettier, look & feel. People can easily dispose of trash elsewhere.

Fun, challenging, somewhat scenic trail. About 6 miles out and back with plenty of elevation changes

Built for the tough. There are over 2,000 steps so be prepared. Bring lots of water. If you are up for a challenge, this is definitely it. Depending on where you start, you may be walking down most of the stairs or going up. It's a nice clean peaceful trail, no swimming spots, just little springs and ponds. It took us a total of 4.42 miles to do whole trail one way and walk back to the car up the sidewalk. Great well maintained trail.
