This would seem to be a black hole in terms of online reporting. Does anyone know whether Walnut Canyon itself is followable from Fisher Point / AZT environs to the national monument? Is it a walk, a walk-swim, or a walk-swim-rappel? It appears that there are breaks in the Coconino sandstone cliff band on the north side just down-canyon of the Island Trail within the monument, for a possible exit and reconnection with the Arizona Trail equestrian route.
