This canyon trail see very little foot traffic however, it is often traveled by horseback through a vendor service.  Quite a lot of horse droppings along the way.  The trail also crosses a stream bed many times.  Diring the summer months there is little water in the canyon so very easy to cross.

From the trailhead, hike up canyon for three miles where the trail ends on the Cassidy Trail.  There is a horse corral at this location so you can't miss it.  There is some nice rock formations along the canyon floor and a very quiet and enjoyable hike.  Return the way you came in to the trailhead.
