Grinnell loop or South Fork loop SGW?

Anybody?

Hi, Zack,

I don’t usually get on-line much on the weekend. There are trails out there calling my name, you know. :)

The South Fork Loop won’t have much water on it once you leave the S Fork area. I might pick something else this year.

The Grinnell Loop will have water in places along Fish Creek. That might be a better choice, but the middle section will be dry. Do you know where you want to camp yet? How many days will you be out? It could be made to work depending on what you want to do.

Momyer – Falls might work pretty well. The whole Falls Creek area is pretty good for water considering that this is a drought year. The Momyer Creek Trail does not have water, but there’s water at the top at Trail Fork Springs which is also an authorized camp site.

Thanks Jim! We're going tomorrow for an overnight taking the momyer falls loop staying at dobbs creek camp. We are beginning to have concerns about trail conditions because we keep reading its extremely difficult to follow. Any tips or disclaimers we should be aware of?

I didn’t think it was that bad. There’s a sign at the junction where the Alger Creek Trail splits off. The trail is a little faint as you go up the ridge, but it’s followable. The trail splits in a few places, but you can generally tell which is the main tread — and the split off trails usually return to the main trail. Bring your topo map and keep your eyes open. You’ll do fine.

Dobbs is a nice spot to camp and guaranteed water. We should have good weather. I think you’ll enjoy it.
