Goat Canyon Trestle Hike Alternate Path Map

Goat Canyon Trestle is the worlds largest curved wooden trestle. Unfortunately few people get to see it up close these days because of it's remote location. Advanced hikers, and mountain climbers can get there no problem, but the average person would have difficulty getting there. So I worked on a solution and I might have a solution which is this alternate path, which would be an intermediate level hike with moderate rock climbing (just some smaller boulders).
I have not blazed this path yet, so unfortunately there could be cactus, and heavy brush obstacles etc. but I'm fairly optomistic that this is a "do-able" path, and is much much easier than any other way of getting there other than helicopter, and of course by train. My father rode the train through here but this has been closed to passenger traffic since 1976.
