Does anyone have experience being down in upper Robbers Roost Canyon in June. I'm planning to drop in there via Mind Bender in early June and then spend a few days exploring. I've read a few references to springs down there that run year round but if we don't find 'em (or they don't exist) we won't be staying too long! Anyone with "spring beta" for RR?

Thanks,

Mike

You are planning on taking an overnight backpack down "Mindbender"? May be tough.

I can travel REAL light in the desert in the summer. Tent: We don't need no stinkin' tent. Stove: We don't need no stinkin' stove. But water... We do need some water, stinkin' or not!


There has been water in Roost everytime I have been there

Were any of those times early June? I see it's in the high 80s, low 90s there now. In a month it's gonna be toasty. Should minimize swimmin' and hypothermia risks though! :haha:

It's usually pretty easy to find water in Robbers Roost. There is a small pool that is spring feed at the last rap in Not-Mindbender that I have drank from and considered camping at before.

The stream that runs in RR surfaces and then goes under and surfaces again.

good luck

:cool2:
