The road to Tucki Mine (with the rock steps) starts out in Telephone Canyon, but then pretty quickly turns south of it. I don't recall, and the maps don't seem to show, any old road beyond that in Telephone. But it's a fine wash. I have once or twice driven to the mouth of Telephone in a sedan. It used to be a stealth camp spot, and yes there is an old car out there, but at least the one that I saw was not deep in a canyon, but rather on the approach and just above the main wash.
Cutting across the wash would be, ugh. Better is to drive to where the road heads off from the pavement and walk that, if you don't feel like driving it.
You can also easily get into upper Telephone from an old mining road described in Digonnet; it takes off to the left from the Emigrant road and can also be used as a back door route to Skidoo
