This area sees a decent amount of visitors in the summer, and seems mobbed in autumn, when the aspens are in full color, but winter is pretty quiet. Exploring this bend in the river, below McClure Pass, is one of my favorite activities when I'm not in the mood to travel far. The trail was packed enough that you could walk it in boots, but the deep snow made for quite a challenge when I stepped off the trail. I think I'll wear snowshoes the next time I go down there.
