Alcoholic Wash loop

Rating *****
length 4.3 mile - 2 hour 45 minutes (Loop). Moderate.
Elevation 870 - 1530 feet
Access Accessible by most Cars from the Coyote Canyon Rd (dirt road).

Head south toward the seasonal Coyote Creek Wash.

Head upstream in the mostly dry wash and turn northeast close to First Crossing.
Follow the sandy wash until it becomes rocky.

You now have two options:
1) Follow this route on a rocky route up to the top.
2) Head up a saddle to the south, which should be easier (not tested).

On the other side, head down the mostly sandy wash with some boulders.

How to get here:

Drive into Coyote Canyon on Di Giorgio Road, follow it past the asphalt, and park at the Alcoholic Pass Trailhead.
