About This Trail
The hike follows a gorge that varies in width from 50' to 10' at its narrowest point. You can go to the far left side of the gorge if you follow the dry creek bed down the middle. You will notice a sign about a mile into the hike. The Pioneer Register is found after another quarter of a mile. The names were from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. The spur trail on the left will lead to the tanks. These are very good for the scramble up the rocks. The trail is marked with rock formations that are hard to follow. Some of the tanks have water and some are dry. If you're going to descend from the tanks, be certain to find the small arch in the drainage.
