Devil's Canyon not too Devilish

The slight drizzle yesterday made for an interesting November trail run. This trail begins with a 3 mile run down some switchbacks and then along the floor of the canyon until you get to a little campground. It took me about 20 minutes to run down the trail, and it was mostly easy to follow. It is slightly eroded in some areas so you should exercise caution. There is water down there but is is swarming with pathogens, so you will need to use a filter.
Although this area was scorched by the Station Fire, there are many surviving conifers and what with all the water in the canyon, this area is remarkably green. The skeletons of the burned trees offer a nice contrast. There are a couple of nice rock formations. All the way down, there are nice campsites. I saw several deer, but just two other people.
