Trail has recently been cleared of downed trees and most brush. The half mile section from Arctic mine northward is very steep and loose. Saw a rattlesnake on that portion. Hiked 7-4-16. Says Phillip
Canyon Creek Trail has a total elevation difference of 1,929 feet, and that is about average. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end which means you have the option of backcountry backpacking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. Some parts of this wilderness trail are much higher up than other parts of the wilderness trail which of course means you need to be prepared for different conditions on different parts of the wilderness trail. Canyon Creek Trail is 9.8 miles long; it's a long wilderness trail. The time needed for this backcountry walk is roughly 8.5 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. This region does get very dry sometimes, so don’t forget to check for any current fire restrictions before you go. This is a hiking and backpacking trail that is quite long, so don't forget to pack enough supplies.
