I headed down Woods canyon with a friend. The start of the trail, from the ranger station, is nice, packed dirt, that is great to let the horses move out. Later, there are long, rocky sections, and the horses had to carefully pick their way through. The trail does become narrow for horses towards end, and there is a relatively steep, albeit short, drop off if your mount is not too sure-footed. It was easy enough to find a place to turn around when the trail got too narrow and rocky.

No water when I rode in January, but even if there was water in the stream, it would be challenging to find a safe place for the horses to get to edge. Hoof protection recommended!
