Water on Marion mountain trail?

Postby lakersball » Mon Apr 21, 2014 4:55 pm

I'm doing an overnighter this weekend. Anyone know of the water sources up to the peak on the Marion mountain trail? We are camping at Little Round Valley.

There are two water sources on the trail, one at Deer Springs trail camp on the Deer springs trail, not too far after the junction with Marion Mtn trail, the other higher up at 9440 or so. These are both on the way to Little Round Valley, but there is no water that I could see in Little Round Valley as of last Sunday. The best water by far is at the higher elevation. That is not too far below LRV, but you would have to carry it there. Suggest taking a Dromedary collapsible bag of some sort, that hold 10 liters or so. You could camp and then hike back down for water.
