Great hike. A very lush desert in bear canyon.
You must go when it's in season or you won't find much water for relief once you get to the falls. I found tons of people at the falls when I got there. Even some with babies climbing the rocks around the falls. I stayed at the bottom two pools for about a hour and took a frequently disturbed nap. If solitude is your thing, you might try this hike on a weekday. All in all, this is one of the better desert hikes I taken.

One of the most scenic canyons I've been to in arizona.
One tip, if you don't have a high clearance 4 x 4, don't try this. There are many fallen trees and deep ruts to circumnavigate.
The road is very hard to follow as it forks many times on 142b.
Once you get to the trailhead it is well worth it.

Hike just down below the bridge. Nice area. Little crowded, but a beautiful hike.

We dropped in from FR#80 around 10:00. Finding the way down seemed to be the difficult part. I think we took the same route down as Joe did, accessing a narrow canyon to the southwest.
Once in the small canyon we picked our way down to Woods.
If you like boulder hopping this trail is for you. Once entering the main canyon there is no flat areas. The only relief you have is when you wade though the numerous pools. A couple of the pools are negotiable to the side but be careful cuz a fall here could bust your cranium.
We hiked as far as we could before many factors made us turn around, a huge thunderstorm, water depletion, heat!!! (101)+++
Never made it to the liquid pools of ice but the many pools we passed on the way in were a blessing on the way back.

All in all a beautiful hike for the boulder hoppine enthusiast.
Start early, wear boots with lots of ankle support,bring lots of water.
Enjoy the canyon!! Even though I was cussing it on the way out I can;t wait to go back and hike the whole thing.
