I was up the canyon today. Left the truck at home so I parked on FR61. It's s nice hike. Steel in places. With a decent 4WD you could make it about .6 miles. It is tough until then. After that there are some trees on the trail. You'd need a chainsaw and winch to go further by vehicle.
After the road ends there is a foot trail that gradually fades. I didn't get to the spring but went up the canyon side. Great views. There is an unofficial trail up there around 6800 feet. It's leave. The east branch seems to head for the Crest trail. It's in better shape than the main trail. I might do a loop with that next time. There is lots of shade.
 

WARNING! Hiking and outdoor related sports can be dangerous. Be responsible and prepare for the trip. Study the area you are entering and plan accordingly. Dress for the current and unexpected weather changes. Take plenty of water. Never go alone. Make an itinerary with your plan(s), route(s), destination(s) and expected return time. Give your itinerary to trusted family and/or friends.
