I had the same question and was thinking of making a trip to the White Mountains. Do you guys have any specific trails on the WMA res that are good for backpacking?

Looks like it might hit 90 in the canyon ... swimming may be possible after all! I'll defer to te-wa for the rules of ultra-light backpacking. Does swimming require a 2oz thong or just au naturel? :-k :lol: Hahaha well maybe I don't want to go on this trip :yuck: Joking, I'm in for sure and I'll ju...

I think I'd be game if that's alright, and how early Saturday were you thinking? I have some stuff going on in the morning, but I could just just come whenever and meet you all at the end.

What's a permit? ;) :sl: You guys are great lol I still (to my knowledge) haven't met any hikeaz folks in person unfortunately. Maybe one day I'll get my butt in gear and go to an event or something. I'll post where we're going for sure if anybody could stand 3+ NAU Forestry student for one night a...

Thank you both for the information, I was pretty sure about the 6 miles for the west fork, but glad you don't need a permit. :lol: about the wineries and yeah I was surprised when I found out we had them in AZ. The West Fork is sounding better and better. I saw one thing that said no campfires, only...

Hey Nate, thanks a bunch for the info. Yeah, I like the doggie trail but was thinking we may be packing in water if we did it. And that's good to know about parsons spring, as I was kind of curious about the vegetation and stuff. Oak Creek- do you mean the West Fork? If I remember right, you have to...

Ya, upper looks like fun, but a bit more of an adventure than what we were thinking. As long as there's some filterable water, it'd be fine and I know it's not the best place to backpack, but we would have fun :thanx: for the info though!

Hey guys just curious, me and some friends will hopefully be backpacking overnight April 14th and 15th. Just weighing our options, do you think Sycamore creek via the Doggie trail would have water? What about lower woods canyon south of the VOC? Parsons spring looks cool too, and I know West Clear C...

Right now all of the run off is done so its straight from the lake!

Thanks Allan!

Hey guys I was just curious if you just filtered the lake water or if there was a substantial stream or other source you used. This place looks amazing, and I can't wait to check it out for an overnighter!

Oh bummer, I was planning on doing this backpack the weekend after you guys, because I have plans on the 30th I look forward to getting to meet some of you eventually though. I hope you guys have a good time and can't wait to hear about the trip!
