Re: Reavis / Rogers loop
also, anyone familiar with the area, any decent places to put down a couple tents in this area?
Re: Reavis / Rogers loop
As you head north on Frog tanks you will pass a cattle trough area before you start to climb out of the canyon (somewhere near Frog Spring I think), there is a lot of room to camp there. I've also camped on Frog near the intersection with Fish Creek Canyon.

You could camp here, about 2 or so miles north of Angel Basin on Frog Tanks. This would be an easy stroll into, from Reavis really.

You aren't late if you don't show up!
Re: Reavis / Rogers loop
We did this loop in November -camped at Reavis Ranch and then at Angel Basin. We lost Frog Tanks near where it turns south and we stayed in the creek bed for 1/2 mile bushwhacking -the trail goes up to Frog Tanks before descending to Rogers Canyon

@Mick
Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Reavis / Rogers loop
We're also thinking of doing this loop the end of Feb. Is the preferred direction clockwise or counterclockwise? Thanks
Re: Reavis / Rogers loop
From a water-carrying perspective, I like counterclockwise because you hit the most reliable water sooner. From hill perspective, I feel like clockwise breaks up the climbing a little more.
Re: Reavis / Rogers loop
I am looking at counter clockwise...... Not looking fwd to the long 6 miles climb though. .... At least it will be the last day when the food is almost gone
Re: Reavis / Rogers loop
Every time I have been in this area there has been water in Fish Creek drainage a couple minutes downstream from the Froggie. Once back on the trail up to Angel Basin, there is a small campsite a few minutes up on the left side of the trail; between the trail and the creekbed. Larger (but more well-used) sites available at A.B. and above the ruin on the trail to Roger's. A.B. is a cold-sink, so if cold I would avoid - also has more than its share of goat-heads.
