Amazing hike with beautiful views. I did this hike with my sister and a friend we started around 9AM and got back to the car around 6PM we spent about 3 hours at the River/ Hot Springs. We considered this a moderate hike with some challenges (being where you climb up/down the ropes). The ropes do cause some traffic so be patient and help others who may need it. The views are amazing and this is a must if you ask me. I recommend taking a lot of water I went at the end of April and we took a gallon per person. Also take a bag of trash out if you can. Also don't litter always pick up after yourself. There is also a spot to donate water for those in need and it's always low on supply hike down with extra water to donate some. Also your shoes will get wet so bring shoes you don't mind getting wet or flip flops for closer to the river.
