About Alder Springs
Though this trailhead is challenging to reach, and requires travel over some rough dirt roads, it is the access point for Alder Springs Trail (#855). There are scenic views of the canyon from the parking area, and they only get better the further you walk. If your car is hearty enough for the roads then the trail is well worth the drive.
