This is a decently long hike that gives stunning views of Providence Canyon the entire way. It does not have a trail, but it is pretty hard to get lost. There is no water, and while technically this hike is dog friendly, once you get to Saddle Rock you will have to turn around, as the route is too exposed.
Description
The way is dry the entire time, so make sure to bring extra water.
