Mt. Peeley sobo to McFarland Canyon?

Post by TooOld2Hike_EP »

I'm thinking about an overnighter from Mt. Peeley to McFarland (and back) in a week.

Anything special that I need to know?

Will McFarland still have water?

(I'm assuming that going nobo, along the Mazatzal Divide, has no water?)
Be careful. It really is "a jungle out there."

@joebartels
Thanks for the link. I clicked around on the map but never found a legend for that particular map.

I just returned from a 3-day, 2-night abbreviated backpacking trip, Barnhardt TH, Y Bar, MDT, Bear Spring, Chilson Spring and return via Barnhardt Trail. I plan to post a trip report with photo set in a day or two. (After cleaning my gear and collecting my thoughts.) For now, lots of water at Bear Spring and Chilson Spring. Probably will not be water in a week at Windsor Spring. And probably no water in two weeks at the Y Bar Basin. (Am guessing its name. About two miles south of where Y Bar Trail meets the MDT.)
