Itinerary description

Nice and easy loop, canyon, flats, the rim and a spring.

Park at Juniper Flats.
The trail follows the California at first and is extremely well marked.
Left off the California trail, follow a jeep trail for a short while and head into a canyon to the left.

Over the flats towards the rim, take a look at the rim, but the view is only good on very clear days.

The trail, now mostly in the wash, leads further to the spring.
The spring itself is filled with grass and nasty prickly bush, mostly Catclaw.

The only point we didn't found a marker was on the jeep trail back.
At a crossing (almost a roundabout) the jeep trail goes to the right. (Point "trail")
But the actual trail goes straight on towards the California trail.

Pictures

Hiking Time: 4 Hour, 50 Minutes, return.
The trail is well marked, well maintained and easy to hike on.
