Good to know
The official map supplies the route and round-trip distance but not a distinct turnaround marker beyond the mapped public-trail end. NPS does not publish surface composition, numeric grade, cross-slope, width, steps, drainage, or crossing measurements. Winter rains can create flowing water and a 150-foot waterfall in this normally dry canyon. Check lot hours, heat, fire danger, storm effects, and current alerts.
