the hike |
The Woods Canyon Trail starts at 3,900 feet and will ascend a total of
400 feet, topping out at 4,300 feet at the end of the trail.
Our hike will be 3.6 miles one way.
This is an “in and out” trail.
Our part of the trail is easy and very scenic along Dry
Beaver Creek, which is often dry.
Along the trail we will encounter diverse vegetation
such as: prickly pear cactus, mesquite and ironwood trees, manzanitas,
multi-stalk yuccas and catclaw acacia, along with juniper, pine and scrub oak.
The latter assortment of trees provides shade for hikers.
