Expect only shade in the first and last part of the hike. First part in a Palm forest, next up a rocky trail, following a sandy wash and down a narrow rocky canyon.

At the trading post in indian canyons head down on the stairs (south). At crossing [3] follow Palm Canyon Trail uphill out of the canyon.
At crossing [4] take the Dry Wash Trail left (east). Head north at the next crossing [6] with East Fork Trail.
At crossing [7] stay on East Fork Trail heading down in a canyon on a more difficult trail with some (dry in October) waterfalls.
