| no partners | | A combination of the "white and wood canyon wander" and "white canyon center loop" routes. I was a little hesitant of fire damage on this route, but the cow damage was much more annoying. Are they supposed to be in the wilderness? All the fences were trampled. Otherwise White canyon is so beautiful and very fun. I roughly followed the route on Joe's track to bypass a couple pouroffs and then quickly found an obvious trail down into the canyon. It was not marked from below. Short side trip through pretty narrows up to the pouroff and a waterfall in a side canyon, then downcanyon and west up another side canyon halfway to peak 3660 for golden hour. Camped on a flattish spot about halfway between Wood and this side canyon. In the morning I looped around and over peak 3660 and back to camp. Lower White is brushier and slower. Was surprised to run into a group of 3 heading for the cave. I cut out a little bit of distance and elevation by following the wilderness boundary rather than going all the way to the lower white TH. The old road was cruiser and welcome after brushy rock hopping but had more cows. After crossing over 3660' and dropping back into White, packed up camp and headed out Wood. Past the wilderness boundary I located and lost the trail several times. It is getting pretty overtaken by sharp things in a few stretches. The area between Wood and the trailhead is toast but the trail is in decent shape mostly. |
