This lush, riparian, and remote canyon which the "Rug Road" crosses, offers a great location for a backpack campsite (only 1-mile hike from the TH Start location) and/or a remote off-trail canyon dayhike; This canyon has a seasonal creek with large sycamore trees, a historic cabin- Virgus Cabin & Corrals, and also has a perennial spring which is located only 100 yards behind the old Virgus Cabin;
