I climbed this route many times in my Ford Ranger while in college. A great place really. Can get crowded and choked with traffic. Lots of private property too. But solitude can be found.
This is a very pretty canyon. There was snow in the shaded areas where the sun doesn’t seem to shine. We didn’t have any problem since we were prepared for this. I saw a lot of people in the lower part of the canyon but no one else in the upper part.
