It's a small thing, but could you let me know upon your return if there is water in Travertine near where the Tonto crosses, please?
Be safe.

Should be water in the tinajas at Yuma Point. I will also check at Travertine.

I'm stoked for the trip with Liz. Sounds like the weather will be good (hopefully!) - storms before we get there and nice weather down in the Canyon. Hope it holds for you Kurt.

No worries. Plenty of water in Boucher and at Hermit, so you shouldn't need to haul more than you need for the hike along the Tonto in that stretch.

Yeah, that stretch of Tonto is a piece of cake.
