From the East Rim Viewpoint, dropped down ER#7 and continued down on NC#4. Near the mouth of North Canyon, turned south on a mix of cross country and abandoned dirt tracks headed towards South Canyon trail, with the intermittent rocky ridges of the Cockscombs on my left. Up SC#6 to the rim, hopped on my mountain bike (stashed the night before) and rode west on FR610 a few miles to the AZT40 crossing, stashed the bike again and hiked NOBO back to the start.

Only water on AZT40 was in a small scuzzy tank next to Sourdough Well.

this trail is longer now cause the road is closed 2.5 miles befor the trail head . i didnt get all the way to the top made it a little over 5 miles in befor heading back to the truck. hit this trail at the right time of the year the colors were amazing red and yellow every were but also bones every were i have never seen so many animal bones . found a full skeltion of a big buck with some fur still on the skull and big mountian lion tracks right next to it and this was right next to the trail :scared: . i never saw any water so not sure if the spring near the top is still flowing or not but you can see the pipes all over were they used to pump it down to old water basins for animals.
