| no partners | | Great overnighter. I think it would be tough to do the whole trip out and back in one day . From the trailhead at TJ Corral hiked up about a quarter of a mile to the first Junction . Take a right and head towards Little bear Canyon . This part of the journey is via a well worn trail Hiked up through the meadow and up to the ridge and then down into little bear Canyon restart to see a trickle water . Follow the water all away down and you run into the Gilla. That first leg was about. 3.5 miles . No water so make sure you have H2O. Once I hit the River I went right and then quickly realized that I was going the wrong route because I was using my Route Scout app! The first of many river crossings. There's 15 river crossings in total . The crossings are marked fairly well with Carins. You just have to pick and choose where you want to cross. The current was moving fairly well so I opted to go for the more shallow of the crossing. I would recommend you not doing this trip without trekking polls . The riverbottom rocks are very very slippery . Trekking poles made my crossings way more bearable. I didn't hike all the way to the spring. Stopped and made camp about a mile before Jordan then hoofed the last mile for a dip after I made camp. Water was warm and felt good after a long day of backpacking. Ran into a few hikers but not overly populated.
The hike was beautiful. |
