This
easy hike leads you to the ruins of a 1920's ranch through a deep canyon
with high walls and slot canyons. Willow Creek
Canyon (also known as China Ranch Wash or Canyon and Willow Creek Wash) has
several year-round springs and is the main drainage into the China Ranch Area.
Although it looks dry at the surface, water is close to the ground in this
canyon. It flows, mostly underground, past the date palm farm and provides
the necessary water to sustain life for both the plants and the few residents
here before continuing on to join the Amargosa River.
