round valley water 7/1/2015

The faucet at Round Valley is still dry. Maybe the state park needs to hire a plumber? Or a well driller...

There is water in the drainage downstream of the big meadow. The best spot is about a quarter mile away from the first camp area/outhouse. There is a nice little pool fed by a rivulet about 15 feet from the trail. You have to step off the trail a few feet to see it. I also saw 2 stagnant pools farther downstream which looked less appetizing.

I have never been backpacking in the San Jacinto Mountains before. I backpack a lot in the San Gorgonios but because of the Lake Fire I wanted to reschedule a four day backpack to the San Jacintos next week. It seems that the water situation might even be worse than in the San Gorgonios! I'm trying to map out a route using the information I've found here but I'm really unsure. Do you have any ideas?
