Stone Valley has a portion of the trail that's described as "the most spectacular stretch of Stone Valley" where the river has a patch of very dramatic rapids. I chose this photo because the power and strength of the river is very evident from the far side of the riverbank. You can also see the other side of the river really well, so it's easy to see that certain species of trees stop growing at respective distances from the river. The ones that are closest to the water have the most flood resistant roots and can survive in more moist soils than the species that grow further away from the river.
