Water at Charlebois Spring?

Post by Sundial »

I know Charlebois Spring in the Sups is pretty reliable. I always like to check with the ranger station anyway, but the last report they had was from a couple months ago. Has anyone been out that way in the last couple of weeks to report on water availability? Heading out for a trip next weekend. Thanks!

Plenty of water there and all over right now, really, after the rain last week. I was just out backpacking

If you have time, I recommend bushwhacking through the jungle behind the pool. It will give a good sense of how much bigger the source is than just the pool itself. I also like how beyond the upstream end, you enter into a bare rock amphitheater. I didn't find anything in the hour I spent exploring, but I expect there are signs of historic and prehistoric activity nearby. (Not just that one petroglyph panel).

@big_load I will definitely have to do some exploring back there. I’ve only been once before, but didn’t get into the “jungle”. It sounds like I need to check it out.

You'll probably feel like it was a terrible idea after the first few minutes, but I was glad to satisfy my curiosity.
