Overview

Words like "deadman" are never really inviting, but in the desert, the term "springs" is really inviting. Thus, the paradox of Deadman Springs begs for an explanation. In the 1890s, a couple of old cowboys found a dead man at the springs, hence the name. Today, this short trail takes you off the beaten path into an oasis of green growth and cooler temperatures within the canyon walls tucked under White Point. Ancient junipers and the sound of dripping water await!
