DD, I want to know if anyone has hiked down DAISY CANYON (where the Salt Tram is located), not Hunter Canyon (2 separate canyons - just near each other, but not the same one!).

Have you ever hiked down Daisy Canyon along and below the Aerial Salt Tramway? If you haven't, do you know anyone who has?

Like I said before, I've hiked about half the total distance (up 2,500 feet of elevation gain from Saline Valley, and down about 1,500 feet from the Summit Terminal), but the middle section is what I'm concerned about - is it passable or have rockslides demolished the old trail?
