When silver was discovered in the area the need for water resulted in a 4" pipe being installed through the narrow canyon approx. 1.5 miles from the watershed above. Later an 18" pipe was installed and people maintaining the two pipelines walked the lines . . . resulting in it being called the "Cat Walk". After discontinuing the use of the lines the CCC installed walkways for easier hiking. This is a beautiful hike not always accessible after large rains because the canyon floods. Here are Francis and our friends, Mary Ann and Jim, at the entrance.
