Charlebois, Bluff, Whiskey, Labarge, Reavis, Reeds Water are all good.
Likely Randolph Sp. is good too.
If you're heading to the eastern sups, post again & let me know the proposed route.

Thanks! We have 2 tentative routes. We are leaning toward Plan A.

Plan A-
Roger trough trailhead to Rogers canyon trail to Cliff dwellings. The rogers canyon trail to reavis trail to reavis homestead.

Plan B
The Peralta trailhead- Loop trail to Charlebois spring. Dutchman trail to ( cannot remember trail) to La Barge canyon and La Barge spring to Charlebois spring. Then remainder of loop out past Weavers needle back to Peralta trailhead.

I was just in the Sups last weekend and it was pretty dry .
I did Coffee Flat to Reed's Water. We didn't make it up Randolph Canyon although once we got to that spot is was nice and green!
Carry at least 5-6 quarts. Your from PA and it's going to feel hotter than us desert Rats of 23 years!
80-90 degrees is what we have right now!
