Sounds great. I am going to bring a friend from Tucson who loves to do canyons and she's never been to Wet Beaver.

I'd love to carpool.!!!.
Last years met up at a Park N Ride.???.

I'm at 202 & Power. East Mesa.

How long is the Drive to get there.???.
What is a good time to leave in order to get to the TH by 0830.???.

Crazy

Sometimes I get lost, and just disappear. Beam me up

Ahhh! Thanks so much for the extra details, photos and info!

...Wow! 18 pools! ...

Now, I'm wondering if biking in on the jeep road would be a good idea to save time and get to the pools faster...then stash and lock up bikes, explore several pools, and return to TH by bike.

Is anyone else thinking of biking?

Big John and I may be looking for camping and additional biking down towards Prescott either before or after this event, most but probably after.

Any campsite or biking trail suggestions heading that way (toward Prescott), perhaps in the shady pines area? Rolling Eyes

Wow! I LOVE that canyon. It was my first intro to Az. many years ago. Only went past the first big swimming hole. Wish I could go witth you, but gotta work and don't have all the gear. Do you wear water shoes as well?? Enjoy and take lots of photos. I think it may be as beautiful as West Fork!

My friend and I don't have bikes so we will just have to hike.
If anyone is camping after the hike let us know , we were thinking of Dead Horse State Park, but Prescott sounds great! Is Wet Bever Campground open?

We have bikes but will have our 5 year old grand daughter Emily with us and will have to hike in the whole way. Is the plan to make this a real canyoneering type thing or just to walk the dry trail to "The Crack" (big swimming hole)to do some swimming and playing and maybe a little bit beyond?
Thanks,
GTG

We'll bring bikes just in case, but stay open to just hiking anyway.

Sounds like a more social, fun occasion overall.

We can still regroup for dinner at an agreed upon time at "La Fonda's"

whether some go by bike/hike combo or not, I suppose.

We wouldn't want to miss out on supping together!

Then, camping can be discussed, too, etc...

.... Idea

....how's that?

OOOps!

I was speaking of how we (John and I) will be prepared to participate.

(possibly a combo of bike/hike/sup and later camping on our returning thru Prescott to Kingman)

The plan stays original to your first intention, as far as I can tell.

Some may choose a slight variation on the theme, I suppose, in exploring the pools.

I'll say no more! Wink

That sounds good. We will meet everyone at the meeting place Saturday. Cindy and I will probably want to go up canyon as far we can ,but i am sure we can work it all out Saturday.

Sounds like people are beginning to set up there car pools from the various corners of the universe. Yeah! I think Sande suggested a perfect weekend since the temps are beginning to rise!

Please PM me if you are looking for someone to carpool with.

Looking forward to a relaxing fun day with friends.

West of I-17 its Cottonwood, East of I-17 its Camp Verde. Camping, Beaver Creek is usually full, the same for Dead Horse. Both campgrounds are going to be warm, desert setting.

OK, tibber, oliver99 and I will be carpooling. Hope all the east siders are taking care of each other.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
