GPS trail to download

Johnson Canyon is already visible from the road. The hike is not really complicated, it's mostly a question of orientation. First you have to find the right starting point and then you have to find the right place to get down to the wash. After crossing it, you have to go back on the other side and there, it climbs a lot in sand but on a short distance. The area to explore is not very large.
