5.5 mile round trip. Hike in from Lupine Campground. Road beyond Lupine is not driveable with lots of flood damage and fallen trees. The hike itself is moderate to difficult. I assume it was much easier in years past. Route finding was difficult. No cell service but downloaded map and AllTrails helped a lot. After a mile or 2 there is a spring down hill on left where the water just appears from the ground into a very clean and cold river. I hiked July 21. Not sure reliability of river. The campground itself is poorly maintained and abandoned. A few decent spots left. A workable vault toilet. Path to river hard to find but water was nice. Apparently there is a trail that continues west to Vincent Gulch but I couldn't find it. As with Lupine Campground, lots of bugs. Edit: Went back in fall. Encountered a rattlesnake about a mile in. Had to turn around because there was no easy way around.
