Surveyor Name: | Mike Maki |
Trail description: | This is for the section along the Condor Trail from Roque Camp to Kerry Canyon. There is no trail but I found this one of the nicer canyons I've hiked along the Condor Trail to descend. I did not take the trail over to Flores Cyn. Probably could not have found it anyway. Stayed in the creek. It has some beautiful water features. Not to much in the way of choked sections. Some of the water features are a little tricky to descend but not impassable with care. A few dry sections but mostly flowing well after this past winter. More pics here. |
Mode of transport: | Hike |
Trail condition: | Non existent |
Condition details: | Trail does not exist but not a bad canyon to descend |

Trail description: | No trail down the canyon from Roque to Kerry Canyon. Â The "official" trail goes up and over towards Flores but most hikers have just followed the canyon down through the narrows, over small waterfalls and rock-hopping down the canyon.

Trail description: | Got a report from a thru-hiker. Â The trail from Roque Camp down to Kerry Canyon is non-existent. Â No sign of a trail, take the path of least resistance and make your way down the canyon. Â It is passable but expect to run into thick brush and dead ends. Â There was water at Roque Camp and along most of the canyon as it heads downstream towards Lazy Camp. |
Mode of transport: | Hike |
Trail condition: | Non existent |
