This is a moderately difficult hike. We are descending to the river from the Red and Yellow trails of approximately 350 feet going to the River Overlook, Evans Mill and and Silver Falls. The return to the Visitors Center is a continual ascent with few switchbacks. Total elevation gain is approximately 700 to 800 feet. This is not a beginners hike. Those with good cardiovascular health should do well. This is going to be approximately 6 miles.
