Fun trip, need to do HAZ writeups. The hilltop restrooms and the restroom facilities at the campgrounds are much improved than my last visit. The crowding and parking is worse however. There is also a ranger on duty. Good to see the tribe is improving the quality of the trip for visitors.

This is a nice spring in a remote place. About 2-6 gpm. The flow only persists about an eighth of a mile down canyon. I didn't drink it but it didn't taste salty to me for the few drops.
