Water on Lone or Rocky

herzzreh · 08-20-2012, 10:20 PM

I'm planning on camping either on Lone (or most likely Rocky), below 3500 of course. I assume no water up there, so everything will need to be hauled up from the river?

You might stumble across a small spring here and there, but I'd play it safe and bring a good bit of water. Just imagine how light your pack will feel when you come back down.

To avoid carrying lots of water on the way up, new plan is to fill up at the Table lean-to (and sleep there), then walk around Lone/Rocky, then camp down by the river. On this note... how's that Table water source doing?

When I did those in summer, dont remember seeing any springs. In winter however, there were quite a few and you could find some tasty yellow water which I hope was tannin from the trees.

An assistant forest ranger on Red Hill a couple weeks ago told me the spring on Table was dry...but there may be newer intel on that.
