BMT to Death Hollow Canyon

Great write up! I have been thinking about this trip and now it’s on my list.  Thanks!

Good stuff Tim, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for bringing back memories of walking there some years ago.  I am not much of a desert kind of guy, but my hiking partner loves the area and I have to admit it is a great place.  We mostly relaxed and swam in the pools and sunned on the rocks when there.  We took a more direct route, parking at the Boulder airfield and heading due west.  We typically camp in a covered amphitheater that has a very cool note book with camp registries back into the early 1900’s and a number  of artifacts dating back much farther than that.

Never heard of Death Hollow Canyon along the Benton Mackaye Trail. Now it makes sense! Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a really fun trip.  Is it all class I/II?

John,

You can PM me the details as to the location of that ;)

Had to go with the abbreviation as my trip report titles get historically way too long!

Ben,

The toughest hiking during this stretch is a bit of bushwhacking through thick vegetation and wading through the creek, sometimes as high as waist deep. We did a little bit of lower class 3 just for the hell of it.
