    Plenty of sea shell markings but you have to keep your eyes open. Probably within the first few miles

    Magnificent Water Pool. The view coming back for this pool is better coming back. You capture the depth of the pool

  • Nancy Aguilar - 03-06-2021
    Many pools such as this one. Not sure how deep they run

Forbush Canyon Survey - 03-06-2021 - by Nancy Aguilar
Link: Forbush Canyon
Date: 03-06-2021
Surveyor Name:Nancy Aguilar
Camp Description:Absolutely stunning canyon. We hiked 7 miles out to Little Caliente. All single track. Well maintained. The pools were beautiful. They clearly can hold plenty of water during the rain season. The single-track provides plenty of climbing and descending. Would I ride this on a bike? Maybe but there is definitely some hike a bike I would be challenged with. 
there are sea shell indentations on the rocks. 
I rode down Forbush last year with my bike fully loaded with gear and it was challenging. Mtb bike might be better but definitely hiking the trail is the way to go. 
Coming back to the car we spotted Ken clearing the trail with his weed whacker. We couldn't thank him enough for his service. 
Water Source:Trickle
Water Source Details:The pools had water and if you need to filter water you can find a few springs that trickle
