| no partners | | Up West Fork and Big Bear canyon, down Middle Fork and Little Bear canyon. Exceptional Loop with countless river crossings of variable depth up to mid thigh. Saw one person all day!
Beautiful piney miles, then numerous miles along the river and middle fork canyon. Saw several enormous gila river trout (surprised by the size of a couple). Also saw a large bear along middle fork! first bear i have seen in quite a few years. that was amazing. stopped by jordan hot springs which was cool to see, though the day was far too warm for that to be enticing to me.
what a treat to be able to carry my filter and a couple small bottles and not have to lug 10 pounds of water for a 24 miler for once.
had lunch on the rim before dropping down to the river, which was an instant HOF lunch spot
just an exceptional hike and day |
