Camp Description:Agua Blanca trail to Log Cabins in decent shape but I would guess no one has used it in 6+ months. 4-5 downed trees (10-20" diameter) and 10-12 creek crossings where the trail isn't well marked; could use flags. Maybe Pot Holes trail in better shape.. We avoided because it was the first weekend of hunting season. Log Cabins itself is nice with a fairly steady trickle in creek.

We tried to day hike to Cove/Big Narrows but that trail is all but gone. Even with good GPS we moved about 1 mile in 1 hour. We got as far as where the old Holister Camp used to be before turning back.

Camp Description:Water was flowing nicely at the camp. 1 of the 3 sites was occupied. Both Potholes Trail and the lower Agua Blanca trail were in good shape and easy to follow. Ice can Stoves (not in good shape), Bbq stoves and rock fire pits are available for use. Oaks provide plenty of shade.

Camp Description:Log Cabin Camp is more trammelled than usual due to overuse but has great water flowing through camp and the usual terrific cliff views and wild feel.

The trail in from the Lower Agua Blanca is in good shape. Didn't even get feet wet going through the Gate, thanks to siltation buildup.
