Due to the spectacular cliffs and topography of the canyon, the trail is primarily above the river's edge.

River access is provided at four location along the trail.West of the National Forest boundary, the trail continues on BLM lands for approximately five more miles, ending at the South Yuba Primitive Campgrounds.
