Cornfield Spring Road climbs over a few big hills during its final two miles to avoid the flood-prone wash below the spring

Hiking up the wash instead of on the road would have been shorter, but much slower, due to the brush growing in the wash. I'm glad I didn't choose to do that, even though I considered it.
