Passage 22 begins a long stretch through the Mazatzal Wilderness, which will continue through Passage 25. The Mazatzal Mountains are a diverse range defined by craggy peaks, serpentine canyons, and solitude.


The trail follows singletrack through thick manzanita and mountain shrubs. It features verdant hillsides, winding canyons, and craggy peaks. It passes by seeps and springs, and briefly follows Sycamore Creek.

The trail continues north through scrub oak and crosses a streambed in a charming valley under idyllic white cliffs. It skirts the side of Saddle Mountain, traversing through hillsides and rolling grasslands. It climbs up to Thicket Spring and continues along a rocky ascent to the junction with the Mazatzal Divide Trail #23 and the end of the passage.
