Open

This trail was pretty much like the power line trail. kind of rugged, some loose rock, you go through a few small washes, not difficult. We did this trail at night entering from the power line trail and took the lower Wakefield Canyon Trail to The Narrows to complete the loop. In order to see the views I recommend doing this during the day (We went in the evening to avoid the heat)
