Generally speaking there's no water en route when going from Humber to Saddle Jct to Wellman Divide to the peak. There are a couple of springs between Humber and Saddle Jct, but they're normally dry by October. They're marked on the USGS maps if you want to look for them, but I wouldn't count on them. There might be water at Wellmans Cienega, but I doubt it; the water is usually lower down -- if there's any at all. If you were willing to take a side trip, you could get water in Skunk Cabbage meadow, but I think most folks just pack what they're going to need.

does the round valley campsite have water?? and what route up the mountain would have the most water at this time in the year? excluding the tram

[hvydrt]

Round Valley has water and Little Round Valley usualy does. Willow Creek was flowing at Laws Camp on Monday. Tahquitz Creek was flowing as well.

Call the office, they might have better info on water. 951-659-2607

As hvydrt says, Round Valley should have water.

Coming up the Seven Pines Trail might be your best bet in terms of water.
