Overview

Lime Canyon Wash, which cut a narrow canyon through Lime Canyon Ridge, traverses the Lime Canyon Wilderness Area east to west. This is an excellent hike, especially if hikers continue to the bottom of the lower canyon.

Presented here are photos of the return: hiking back up from the bottom of the lower canyon to the Lunch Spot. Photos of the continuation of the return hike, from the Lunch Spot to the Trailhead, are presented on here.

Details of the route, including a full description, photos, maps, and GPS coordinates, are presented on the main Lime Canyon Wash page.
