Description
The trail starts at the Cedar Pocket Wash TH about 1.5 miles up the BLM road. The trail drops down steeply into the wash, with the option to go out to "observation point' to take in the views before the descent. Once in the wash, you can head down stream to check out "the Narrows" (a sign points the way) or follow the wash upstream through a typical mountain desert environment. There are options for side explorations up canyons and other washes. Easy to follow but this, as a wash is hard to hike in than sand. However, the beautiful scenery and solitude are worth the slower speed if you hit it at the right time of the year (i.e. not 110 degrees).
