Niner they are relatively easy. The only point of concern I have is they are pretty rocky. If you can navigate rocks like this shown in the pic below, you'll be fine. One definitely has to have felt soled waders to wade any of the creeks though as the rocks are all covered with really slick moss, referred to as snot rock. My son wasn't wearing them in this photo, but he's young and still bounces when he falls. I don't, I'm old enough now I shatter. However I have no problem when wearing the felt soles.
