Access Issue: Restrictions January 1 - April 30
Details
There is an annual closure from Jan 1 - Apr 30 prohibiting travel more than 400' off of established trails due to bighorn sheep lambing season. The current order can be found here ( fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DO…) but will be extended when the current order expires.
Getting There
3 miles up Pima Canyon, on the right and up the hill. The dam is 3.1 mi.
Stay on the trail until you have almost walked past the crag, (it is about 20min up the hill, it tapers down on the right side and has a huge dihedral capped by a roof) when you are below the black water streak, you are on the opposite side of the trail and will have just gained some elevation, then turn right onto a very discreet climbers trail and cross Pima canyon and head up the small drainage that is formed by the big black water streak. ( if you get to the metates in the canyon bottom you went just little too far, head down canyon for about 3 minutes.) Head up the drain for just a few minutes, Leave the drain and diagonal up and right, passing a large bolder, to the base of Psycho Man.
