Water

[spinefxr]

Historically is there water available anywhere along the trails from Humber Park or Marion Campground to San Jacinto this late in the year?

There is water at Wellman's Cienega coming up from Humber Park. There is also water in the Dear Springs area and should still be water in Little Round Valley coming up from Marion Mtn trail.

From Little Round Valley to the Marion Mountain connection at the PCT there is five or six spots flowing good enough to filter as of 28 Aug.................................DUG

how about water availability in Round Valley in October? Thinking about doing an overnight backpack trip.

Round Valley? Should be no problem. The pipe over by the old ranger station oughta do ya. Unless it freezes, but it probably won't.

I called the Ranger station in Idyllwild and was told there was no water to be had going up Deer Springs or in Little Round Valley. Is there water on the other routs like Devils Slide to Wellmans Cienega, which by looking at the map shows two streams that join to make Willow Creek? We will be going up mid Oct and dont want to hump more water then is needed to Round Valley where there is sure water.

Thanks for any help

Hi Go Diego, There was plenty of water at the upper part of Deer Springs Trail and Little Round Valley as of last Wednesday.

The ranger station doesn't know what they're talking about.

Thank you both! It looks like Fuller Ridge wins out then if there is water to be had.
This is a great forum and I look forward to being a part of this site.
I'll post my trip when we are done.
