Hello,

I am looking to backpack a loop in Joshua Tree NP and am curious what the route through the Smith Water Canyon is like? Topos are not detailed enough and online all I am seeing are a few shots of people scrambling over a few sketchy drops.

Is it easy enough to hike through with a 25 lb pack or are ropes needed?

Thanks!

Just did this in March. It is mostly an easy bushwhack with a use trail up the canyon. You will have to do a rock scramble at the falls, but no ropes are needed.
