Pumphouse Wash

[k9hiker]

I'm looking for info on Upper Pumphouse Wash from basically James Canyon North. Are there backpacking camp sites anywhere along the wash that aren't near the FR237 poophole area?
I was thinking of hiking down from Kelly Pocket and taking Pumphoyse out to make a short loop. It's an overnighter with my son and nephews.

@k9hiker I don't recall anything well-established in this area. There might be a flat bank or two that would work, but it's so close to town and so short in overall distance that backpacking and camping here are not common. And while I have not been there recently, based on summer rains in the area, I would expect to find minimal water, except for some pools (probably muddy) in the bedrock from summer storms.

Thank you. Gonna try to check it out on a day wander. The canyon aspect and close drive seemed an appealing choice for an easy 1 nighter
