We stashed some water near here for the trip back, which is always a good idea in the desert.  This relatively flat crossing from one side of the mountain (Mortero Palm Canyon side - North) to the other (Goat Canyon side - South) is a little over half a mile long.  The trail is distinct in most parts but is easy to lose so look sharp.  The unwary can miss Goat Canyon entirely... a very bad thing if you don't have a good map to get you reset in the correct direction.
