right fork leads to the floor of the arroyo; the left fork leads to the south rim, each after two more miles. Either place makes a pleasant campsite. Mexican wood-cutters truck loads of ironwood from here to feed the fires of Mexicali.
CAMPING: Primitive. Plenty of wood; bring your water supply, a minimum of one gallon per person, per day. A light sleeping bag is sufficient at night.
Hike the entire length of the eight mile arroyo in one day, or pack a knapsack and stay overnight at the first warm spring, five miles up-canyon, or the second warm spring, six miles up-canyon. The warm springs furnish the only water in the arroyo. Like that at Pozo Cenizo, it is mineralized, but drinkable.
