I walked this section in three solo hikes. In June, 2003 I walked from Onyx Summit to the Cougar Crest Trail. In June, 2005 I walked from the Cougar Crest Trail to Interstate 15. In October, 2005 I walked from Onyx Summit to the trailhead near Interstate 10. The photos are displayed here in south-to-north order.

Parts of this section have seen fires in the past few years.
This bridge was damaged by fire on the right side (hidden) so I forded the creek. Trail was laid out to enable this easily.
