Sorry to hear that. Good luck to the kid.
Trail Info:
Sandy trail running up the Hassayampa River. Most of the year the river is dry with deep sand so you will probably need to air down. After the sand the trail narrows hopefully running into some water. The water is shallow and sandy. After a few miles up the narrow wash you will encounter the box. This is the high light of the trip. It is a canyon with high red walls, and a old homestead located in a very well shaded spot right off the trail. There is alot of sandy hills for you to climb to test your ability. There is always more than one way to go up the trail but you always meet up in the same spot. There is alot of open spaces to play and sit down and eat lunch. If there is water, it always makes the run alot more fun.
