How about this for late October?
Short loop is ~9 miles, longer is ~12 with some route finding requirements.

That is an awesome hike - went there on Labor Day last year and didn't see a soul (!) _________________ Mountains complement desert as desert complements city, as wilderness complements and completes civilization. - Ed Abbey |

You could camp at willow springs if you hiked it all in, there is a little camping area at the TH though, if my memory serves me correctly. It is a good drive out, but like Scott said, you probably wont see anyone else. _________________ Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined.

There is trail head camping but the only facilities I'm aware of is a very old out house which may or may not still be there. Fire ring as I recall, that's about it. There's water a few hundred yards in on the trail.
Pick a date, later is good for me, it could still be kind of warm earlier. _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |

Juat a thought ...
The Oct 17-18 & 24-25 weekends might conflict with the Fall AMC Climbing class.
If anyone was planning on doing that.
Hope this helps! _________________ *****************

Hey Shawn - Can you turn on the registeration & make this an Event ( basically repost). That way we can keep the logistics etc in the same place and this will show up in the Events Calender....
OR GTG can move this thread to Events and we will all be good..... _________________ Photos: http://www.pbase.com/desertgirl/galleries
