If you head downstream there are several crossings that must be made. The boulder hoping is not too bad, but if the river is high, you will be getting somewhat wet - bring dry shoes (and maybe pants). Cool spot about 1 mile South from when you hit the Agua Fria off from the Wash trail. Will be nice in the Summer to hang out.
