Clouds Rest Camping - Water Sources

Postby ODS » Thu Sep 15, 2011 5:42 pm

I will be hiking from Tenaya Lake - Sunrise Trailhead towards Clouds Rest and plan to leave around 1:30PM and want to camp Northeast of Clouds Rest summit and then summit the next day and continue on to LYV. I see on the trail maps that the trail crosses an unnamed creek or stream about 1-1.5 miles Northeast of Clouds Rest. Can anyone confirm the water levels in this stream/creek? I wanted to camp a little to the South of this crossing and use this as a water source for a group of 6 for cooking dinner and breakfast the next morning.

Thanks in advance to any advice.

Cheers.

Those threads cover the topid pretty effectively. And since 2011 has been a very wet year, you shouldn't have problems.

So, how was your trip? What did you find, water-wise?
