Water question re: Boulder Canyon Loop from First Water TH

[sjrose]

Hi all, my partner and I are planning to break this loop up into a two-night backpacking trip in a few days. This will be our first time in the Superstitions. Just wondering if we can expect to find water along the way or if we should plan to pack it all in, as I didn't see any recent water reports along this section of Boulder Canyon.

@sjrose From my recent readings of trips in the area, I would conclude that you'll probably want to carry all your water as it has been exceptionally dry this fall. In recent weeks there are reports of some available water at Second Water spring, but since that's ~3.5 miles from the parking lot, it doesn't help a whole lot.

@chumley That was my hunch but just wanted to make sure. Thanks, I appreciate it!
