@rcorfman
Thank you! How is camping, is it pretty easy to find dispersed spots?
Also, think I'm pushing it for Mid April?
And your saying take the west side of little pan loop?

@xsproutx
Yeah based on the area and the dry year i kind of was expecting that, i have put together a list of spots to cache so i am guessing that's going to be the best way. Seems like camping is just a dispersed free for all, that what your take away is also?

Highline Trail

Does anyone know if there is water flowing between Bonita Creek and Horton on the highline?
Want to do 15mi into Horton and camp, then out in the morning and don't want to lug water the whole way if possible. I know Horton is flowing.
Thanks
