Making the jump from lurking in search of good beta.

I'm curious if anyone knows much about the east side canyons of Trachyte Creek. I'm looking for the easiest option, preferably an exit route from Trachyte that allows me to get to the end of Trachyte Point Road. I've been staring at USGS quads, Gaia, Google Earth, etc. and I can't figure out if any of them are possible. I don't mind a good desert bushwack, sketchy scrambling, and am pretty decent at navigation.

Cheers for any help and hope to see you out there.

Totally doable. Look up canyoneering routes, specifically the exits for them and you'll find what you're looking for. I'm pretty sure Tracheotomy is one that provides a relatively easy access but definitely look it up. http://www.bluugnome.com/cyn_route/trachyte_trachyotomy/trachyte_trachyotomy.aspx

Thanks! I had been reading about these technical slots like trachyotomy, but had never thought to read the exit route. hah! Certainly doesn't look like the easiest exit, but as long as it goes, we can figure it out.
