    A group of hikers makes a descent through talus fields back down to the river near Big Bend Camp.
    An incredible amount of work went into building the trail across several long talus slopes.
    Fall leaves beginning to change color.
    Hikers take a lunch break at the Trail Flat Hot Spring.
    A view up the Middle Fork from the mouth of Elkhorn Creek.
    A contemplative view downstream from Elkhorn Creek. Fire scars from 2008 are visible.

    There are a few narrow and eroded sections above Middle Powerhouse Rapid.
