Vivian Creek trail to summit trip report 5/23

[LarryB]

Hiked Vivian to San G yesterday. Plenty of water in Vivian Creek and in High Creek. The spring up behind the log at Half-Way is dry though. No snow or ice on the trail.

Hi LarryB,

When you checked for water in the creek behind the log before Halfway camp, did you go about 1/8 mile up the creek where there is usually water.

How far up the dry creek did you looked or listen for the water dripping?

I walked up the use trail maybe 50 yards where it comes to the creek. This is usually where I’ve found water before. 1/8 of a mile is 220 yards. I didn’t go that far.

Thanks LarryB,

The water has been further up that trace trail the last couple of years. It was there 2 years ago for most the summer even though it was a mild winter that year.

It can be quite bushy in the dry creek so you have to listen for it to find it.
