Each creek crossing included about a 400 foot descent to the creek and a similar 400 foot ascent on the other side of the creek. This was the first time for most of us on this trail. I'd rate the hike as moderately strenuous.
Overlooks on the bluff weren't plentiful, but we did manage to find a nice spot for lunch for the six of us. This spot provided a good view of the deep chasm and the forests and overlooks on the other side. (One member of our group also spotted the waning moon about to set in the west).
After a pleasant lunch and a bit of conversation, we headed back to the Bear Creek descent and the subsequent climb out.
