This was my second jaunt into the big mountains and quite an interesting trail. Very nice to begin with as it is all downhill into the canyon. The rocks are absolutely beautiful- speckled with silver mica and the trail feels almost like a beach at the top-sandy with speckled rocks. We wore pants and were very glad that we did as the trail was pretty overgrown with lots of scratchies on either side. But the pants definitely helped mitigate that. There was a creepy abandoned cabin down by one of the springs near the bottom. That was pretty cool to explore. We followed the trail as far as we could but we couldn't go too far as it actually ended, burned down by a wildfire. We didn't want to keep pushing so we sat near a creek and had lunch and a break. We had probably gone down about 3-4 miles before the trail ended but didn't have a way to track mileage (didn't know about this site/app back then. Wish I had!). Kinda disappointed by the burned out trail but the hike was absolutely beautiful. Overall a pretty short hike, about 4 hours total, but totally worth it.
