Land Owner
This is a popular hike because of the final view of the major river confluence. This hike is long and exposed to the elements. Most the hikes here are like that without tree cover, but some you are shaded by high cliff walls at certain times of the day. This hike also requires some climbing over boulders and use of your hands to scale some difficult sections.
This is the singletrack section from the Big Spring Canyon Overlook to the 4x4 road. Yes, there is some double track that you dump out to and have to walk through the sand until you reach the final small segment that takes you to the overlook.
