Gap Trail
During the winter and summer run-offs, the streams often change their course. This requires you to go upstream to get to the other side instead of simply crossing. You have to be extremely careful to watch for sudden deep spots. To Rod's right is a hole that would swallow a Jeep in a heartbeat.
