Route Description
Walking upstream along Little Wild Horse Canyon north from the trailhead, the Bell Canyon junction is reached after ten minutes, past some short narrows and a minor dryfall - it is a side ravine that veers away to the left. From the start the canyon is very rocky and boulder strewn, the streambed covered by sand and pebbles of various colors and sizes. The walls are made up of exposed, angled strata, and all the surroundings show signs of great erosion. The canyon narrows quite soon but remains fairly open, without any obstructions apart from several dryfalls a few feet high. The passage twists and turns, and the enclosing rocks rise far above, becoming several hundred feet high though not sheer, as even at its deepest point the canyon is V-shaped in profile.
