Edwards Crossing:

The historic steel bridge (c.1862) and river is very photogenic. The location is also a popular access point for whitewater boaters.

The road is paved to the Edwards Crossing, but the last drop is steep, narrow, and not recommended for RVs or trailers. The crossing has limited parking, is crowded on summer weekends, but provides easy access up and down the canyon.
