Water Sources for Backpackers & Hikers

Assistant Park Manager Bill Knapp emailed me yesterday regarding water sources in the Park. Almost every normal watering hole in the Savage, Collins and Big Creek Gulf area is dry.

There IS a suitable water source at both ends of the Fiery Gizzard Trail.

If you are backpacking or planning a hike where you think you will need water along the way, please check with the Rangers for the latest information.

Do your rain dance.

Cheers,

Ron Castle
