T46 Dry Canyon Trail is not in the 2002 Edition of Trail Guide: Lincoln National Forest, and I have not hiked it.
A friend in the Forest Service described  T46 as being "in good shape " in late 2013.  A posting on the Lincoln National Forest website states "No access to the Crest Trail (T25) is currently allowed due to the Little Bear Fire.  Check with the Smokey Bear Ranger District office to get current information.

The junction of T44 and T46 is 0.8 miles up T44 from its lower trailhead.  The junction of T46 and T47 is 0.2 miles down from the junction of T25 and T46.

This trail is in poor condition.  This link contains a lot of useful information: http://www.ruidoso.net/visitors/outdoors/trailheads/threerivers.html.
