I've seen groups of boy scouts going into West Clear Creek so obviously there are areas for backpack camping but I've hiked in a few miles and never seen campsites. How far back do you have to go for these camping areas?

Honestly, pretty much everywhere once you're past the 2nd creek crossing or so. Some of them are a little off the trail, but near the creek crossings seem to be the most popular areas.

Let us know, in a triplog, what you find and how it went. It's been almost 8,000 days
since your last triplog.

Yeh, there are tons. Heck, one of my favourites is less than a quarter mile from the wilderness boundary. Terrific fishing

Very helpful gang. Thank you all.
I know I haven't posted much here. I do visit a ton and read yalls adventures.
Knee injuries took me off the trail and onto a bike several yrs ago so I haven't felt like I've had much to contribute. Still love the site though.
