I hiked a 1.8 mile section of this trail starting from the opposite end at the Nankoweap #57 trail head on FR610. From FR610 the trail drops down hill passing a small knob on the right which offers a great view and was my original destination. From there I could see that the trail continued down hill and then went up over a hill so I decided to see what was on the other side of the hill. My curiosity led me past that hill on down the trail to where it crossed a bench before dropping down over the side. Not wanting to lose anymore altitude becasue of the heat and not being prepared for a longer trek (only had 1 liter of water) I decided to walk out to a point on the bench and then return. The flat bench had widely spaced Ponderosa Pines which made for an easy off trail walk. There were some great views from from this point and it was a good day for pictures with beautiful cloud formations adding to the beauty of the canyon.
