We car camped on Battle Ground Ridge near Blue Ridge/Cragin Res. Arriving there was a light rain but we setup camp before heading out on the hike.

Most of the hike was off trail including down to Miller Canyon. Reaching Miller there was a really nice flow for a creek that is dry a good part of the year. Relatively easy stroll down canyon on a gravel creek bottom. Eventually we hit the confluence of Miller and East Clear Creek and went up stream to see more of East Clear.

After seeing enough we headed back to the confluence and downstream on East Clear Creek to where the AZT crosses the creek. However, curious as to how much the reservoir had filled from the winter we ventured down stream to check it out. It wasn't long as we probably only hiked about 500 feet before hitting the water line. We turned around and hiked back to the AZT and took a break.

Break over we followed the AZT back to camp about 2 miles or so. Great hike even with light rain at the beginning but the sun managed to peak out on the second half. Also great to see all the water flowing in all creeks which are often dry by this time of year

	good flow at the crossing. Also the start of the reservoir was only 500 feet down stream
