Dark Canyon - Young's to Lean-to Traverse

[Backcountry Billy]

Hi all! Looking for recent experience and beta on a route that ascends Young's, traverses the mesa, the drops back into Lean-to. Looking for water specs, trail conditions, anything else I should know. This will be taking place in late October. Thank you!

We did it in November '17 with adequate water for a desert hike, and no real route finding issues.

Thank you! Do you have any more specific information? (water sources, etc in youngs, on the mesa, and in lean-to?)

No water on mesa, intermittent water in both canyons, and in Dark. The current drought conditions almost render this info useless.
