A popular short hike rewards visitors with a 35 foot waterfall at the end. DeGarmo Canyon can be accessed from the County Road 3-12 (which runs north to south along the base of Hart Mtn on the west side). From the junction of Hogback Road and Road 3-12, turn south (right) for approximately 4.6 miles. Before you reach the sign for DeGarmo Canyon look for a side road to the east which is marked by a "No Camping" sign. Follow this road for 0.2 miles and keep right, at 0.3 miles turn left. Park at the mouth of the canyon and hike upstream. The hike is approximately 1.5 miles to the waterfall.
