Trachyte - Maidenwater

We hiked Maidenwater March 2019.  Nothing required more than a knee deep wade of a few feet.  As far as down climbs, the only significant one was after "the boulder," and it was easily negotiated with a little creative butt scooting, etc.  Definitely nothing technical.  We camped between Maidenwater and YBR.  We hike up YBR until we got cliffed out, which I think is just before the bottom of the tech canyoneering route described elsewhere on this site.  At this point, we  backtracked a few minutest to a hoodoo and scrambled to the top, and to a view point of what we think was tic toc bridge, although it looked more like a paul bunyon potty type of feature than a bridge so maybe we were not successful.   Regardless, it is a beautiful hike.    I also thought Trail Canyon, our exit route, was a lot nicer than advertised.  Water throughout MW and Trachyte.  Trail Canyon was dry.    A few cow fresh cow tracks but saw no cows.  Same for people.
