Park about 20 yards from the start of the slot

Easy scrambling, often some shallow pools, can have clumps of prickly tumbleweed, the narrows pinch in to 3-feet in places, very picturesque. Continue down to the junction of Crawford Draw which enters from the left LDC. Just below the Crawford Draw junction are 2 swimming pools, if you wish to continue down Crawford Draw without swimming, you can bypass the pools by climbing up Crawford Draw at the junction for 20 yards, then turn right LUC and walk through a faultline that leads back to Crawford Draw below the pools.
