The hike started at the bottom and headed north-west up Devil's Canyon, then turned north-east up Ybarra Canyon for about 350 yards before diverting up Echo Canyon. At the top we turned south-east down a ridgeline dirt road, turned west on Saugus Rd, then headed south down 'Macabre Canyon' just west of Commanche Trail.
