I get my first view down into the gorge of Devil's Playground Wash and the old mining road that rises up the other side

I feel like I'm entering a secret world where nobody goes as I begin the steep hike down the switchbacks to the bottom of Devil's Playground Wash. The road drops 375 feet in just over 1/3 mile.

Part of the old descending road is visible on the left.
