Doable in Day? High Spur and NWFork of Big Springs Canyon
Hello there...Like the title says...Doable in a day. I have done High Spur before. Just thinking of hiking down as far as I want and then returning to do Big Springs. I have not done Big Springs before. My thought is to do High Spur for 3-4 hours and then it sounds like Big Springs is a 3-4 jaunt. Doable? Thanks much, Mike

I was planning that exact same route this coming weekend, but doing it in a day seems like you would have to run through it.

Cool...maybe we will see each other. Yeah, I was thinking my wife would enjoy the upper part of High Spur Canyon...I sure she would enjoy the rappel at the end but maybe not the 3 mile hike back on the road:) That is why I was thinking of backtracking and doing Big Springs Canyon too.. From my research, it sounds like people can do Bsprings in 3 hours round trip...Hmmm...

Very dependent on different factors, like skill level and speed, but I think it is very possible to do High Spur and NW Fork of Big Spring in a day. One time we did High Spur (the full route) and the East Fork of Big Spring in one day, with two beginners.

Thanks...Don't want to rush it! I love High Spur and my wife hasn't been to either one yet...I think I will try the NW fork first and then head down Spur canyon as far as we desire...Kelsey says he can do NW Big Springs in 2.5 hours...Know Kelsey, I figure an hour more or so...

Did you end up going? I stopped at the water in the corkscrew. The swimmer at the first down climb was plenty cold but the corkscrew was neck deep when I turned back and cold cold cold. Most likely a swimmer after where I was for quite a distance.
