My first hike in this area. We parked at the campground, hiked down to Joe Baca Draw where we camped for 2 nights. Never saw another person the whole time we were there. Creek is smaller than I was imagining, and easy to cross without getting your boots wet. One of my friends was hoping to fish, but creek seems too small to support any sizable fish. Saw elk on the way into camp on the first day. The first night we had a pack of coyotes right near our tents howling. I was scared :), but nothing came of it. Hiked over to Brian and Melissa springs and then over to Mexican Hay Lake and back through Joe Baca Draw on day 2. The springs had some water, but I wouldn't plan on getting drinking water out of them unless you were really desperate. On day 3 we just hiked back out. Very nice area, enjoyed it very much. It was pretty dry.

It does have water, but not much right at the spring. Hike down a ways, and it is a little better. Wouldn't plan on getting water from here though, personally. Hike over to the South Fork, much better water.

Pretty much the same as Brian Spring..., as they are right next to each other.
