SUMMARY:DEAD INDIAN CANYON
DESCRIPTION:Dead Indian Canyon is one of the group of canyons which are open for only the last three months of each year. The hike begins at Art Smith parking lot and follows the southern edge of the Art Smith basin before entering the wash at the mouth of Dead Indian Canyon. Our route follows the soft sand floor of the wash until we reach the point where the old Art Smith trail side canyon heads northwest. From there we use a sand platform to avoid some rocks and reach where the canyon starts to climb through a field of scattered granite boulders. We then return to the parking lot via a trail which parallels our route into the canyon.\nAlong the way we will see desert willows, smoke trees, datura, acacia and many lizards. If we are lucky we may encounter a herd of bighorns! Tim would be happy to explain any geological features and/or give a brief overview of the geology of this region. \nShade is limited and there is no water in this canyon. Bring plenty of water, dress for sun exposure and have snacks handy to keep your energy up.\n\nMap here: https://caltopo.com/m/8E7L\nAltitude gain: 240 feet  (1029′ to 1269′) \nCumulative altitude gain: 240 feet\nDistance: 2.1 miles\nPace: Medium\nTerrain: Slightly varied, deep sand, short climb, some slick rock\nObstacles: Rocks, boulders, plant debris\nDifficulty rating:  Easy to Moderate\n\nPlease complete the RSVP form below to sign up for this hike.
