Special Instructions:
This in-and-out hike is a great opportunity to see and explore Wood Canyon and its interesting rock formations. This area is scheduled to be developed by the Forest Service into a new set of hiking trails. Bring hiking poles. The last driving mile is very rough and requires 4-wheel trucks only. Bring plenty of water and food for a snack and lunch.
