Approach

Park at Wildwood Picnic Site. Take the Stone Canyon Trail, then take a side trail on the ridge near the top of Mount Lukens that becomes a firebreak and peters out on its way to the drop-in.

Descent

R1 - 80': tree DCR

R2 - 25': bush immediately after R1

A few downclimbs are the only other technical features in the canyon (unless you can call bushwhacking technical) before you emerge into the main Delta Canyon wash.

Exit

Shuttle vehicle at Trail Canyon Falls trailhead or walk along road back to Wildwood.
