Deadman Trail climbs gradually to the base of Mescal Mountain, which can be seen to your right as you hike. The entire hike has beautiful formations to behold. Boynton Canyon walls and buttes are off to the left. This trail can be done at a leisurely pace without too much effort. Deadman Pass shares a trailhead area with Boynton Canyon and Boynton Canyon Vista trails. There is approx a 200 ft elevation change.
