Description
Park at the heart creek trailhead. Follow the trail that leads to the river then head upstream crossing multiple bridges until you reach the benches located at the end of the bottom of the enclosed section of canyon, here you will head right (Canyon left) and follow a trail with heads up the side of the hill. Rejoin the river and continue upstream until you reach the second hill, follow the path on canyon left and enter the river where it flattens out. Canyon is straightforward with simple features.
