| no partners | | Good road getting in to the trailhead, if you are careful it could even be passable in a sedan. We had two dogs with us, and planned to hike to the end of the water and then camp. Camping is not allowed until after the water ends (3.7 miles). Took us a few hours to get to the end because the trail is hard to follow and requires some bushwhacking after the 4th stream crossing. As of mid-April 2024 the 3.7 miles did not take us to the end of the water, and we had to continue another half mile past where Parson Springs is marked on the map before the water dried up. At that point there were not good places to make camp, and it was still early in the day so we decided to turn around and just make it a day hike. We did not see any other hikers all day until we neared the Summer Spring swim hole on our return trip. Long day for the dogs, but great hike. |
