The river in the Gorge is the upper Yangtze. The trail is about 23 KM and certainly the first several kilometres are largely up hill and difficult. We were fortunate to have sunny weather, although it was a bit hot. Our guide was able to carry some of our packs making the hike that much less difficult. We also conceded our pride and rented mules to take us through the 28 switch-backs (the most difficult part of the hike).
