Hiking
At the trail junction you have a choice of three canyons; Van Dorn Canyon to the west, Bird Canyon to the north, or Sands Canyon to the south. This ridgeline is near the highest point between the three canyons, so the trail is all downhill from here. The Sands Canyon trail climbs another 200 ft. before descending into the valley.
