Trip report
Jun 18, 2019 — Lower Hackberry Canyon is an easy, pretty walk that's accessed from Cottonwood Canyon Road. The hike begins by heading along a sandy/wet canyon bed. The seasons and weather will dictate how much water will be in the canyon, but expect ankle-deep sections. As we entered the mouth of Lower Hackberry Canyon we were happy to find there was at least enough water to bring in lots of pretty flowing water noises. While the canyon never gets super narrow, the canyon walls are impressively tall and gorgeous. We turned around once the narrows ended and some brush prevented us from continuing unimpeded, but it seemed there were no more narrows to visit unil quite a few miles up the canyon.
