Incredible beauty. Not just at the look out but all along views as the trail is majority climbing side hill with open views of rock and river. Multiple eco systems. Yucca, sugar bush, agave, sonora oak. Excellent desert habitat for rare gartersnake and other desert creatures. At times it felt like a raked botanical garden. After reaching the saddle a pinion forest and then a glorious overlook with large boulders perfect for resting on. Up hill all the way, we gained 2,500 feet. Lots of loose rock. Never scramble steep but always a climb. It was a fabulous work out. I wouldn’t take someone in poor condition or someone without a love for exertion and rocks. Got up the next morning and wanted to do it again.
