The river goes absolutely insane here, and you'll frequently see entire Douglas Firs spinning around in the eddy formed by a granite outcropping or racing down the river towards the bend.

You have to pull over (safely!) to get yourself acquainted with Big Eddy, our local totally classic PNW staple trestle bridge.
