River's Bend
About River's Bend:
| Higher-end sport climbs on limestone, a rare treat. Grades from 5.9-5.13+. |
| Approach: | Park at the trailhead area, just below the Parking Area Wall. VERY high clearance trucks may be able to make it through to the dam year-round, but the road is currently washed out and EXTREMELY rugged. Pass the old dam and continue downstream, staggering through the forest on the roughest of trails to reach the obvious limestone arch. |
