Unfortunately as of late June 2015 the trail is no longer accessible all the way to the canyon. The top end of the trail is blocked by a impassible barrier gate courtesy of a private mining company. There is a sign indicating that to access the narrows you can contact the BLM. If you happen to be on Northshore road, it is still a nice little diversion with a beautiful view of the valley from the top. I've marked it as easy since you can't go all the way up. There is a little loose gravel and sand crossing a wash near the start, but the rest is hard-packed mining roads.
