| no partners | | Day 3 of 3 cabin loop: starting near buck springs, at start of barbershop trail/Terminus of u bar trail, going to Houston brothers, to general crook, ending at general springs.
We enjoyed being in some fall colors. Some on barbershop, but lots and lots on Houston brothers.
No water at Coyote springs, but at Bill McClintock draw just past Coyote springs there were pools of water and a very nice campsite.
After climbing out of the draw, the trail goes onto old and current forest roads, or crosses them. It is sometimes confusing where the trail leaves/joins the old roads, but routescout is useful to help with that, and some things are signed with small markers.
Considerable water pools were also in Dane canyon and barbershop canyon.
We had a snack at FR300 then started back towards the car. The official route for general crook trail as part of the cabin loop is not at all accurate. Nor is the general crook route shown on the topo map. The general crook trail follows FR300 almost exactly. You are almost always in direct sight of the road, and the trail is blazed consistly on the trees with silver V markers. The route was useful to pick up the first instance of the trail from road where Houston brothers trail lets out.
A great backpacking weekend!  |
