Itinerary description

From the Shadow Glen parking lot (free), headed up the Middleridge Trail to hike downriver to the Nimbus Dam Overlook parking area (also free but kinda difficult to get to). Then dropped down the bluff trail to walk out onto the Hazel Ave bridge.

Returned via various unmarked trails along the river until ultimately ending up on the Snowberry Creek trail.
