I know I started a similar post some months back, but I cannot find it, and I have some more specific questions about the Sipsey, having never been there.
I have found several different online references and maps of the Sipsey Wilderness are and trails, but of those of you who are familiare with the area, what can you tell me about campsites along the trail and stream/river crossings?
First, I am looking for a good campsite within a mile or two of a trailhead, one which would be easy to pick out at night. We will be arriving well after dark and would like to get away from the parking lot, at least 1/2 to an hour.
Second, are there established bridges along the trails in the wilderness, or is it required to ford the streams and rivers?
We will be a small group of boy scouts (8 max including adults) on Memorial Day weekend. Any advice you can offer about "crowds" in addition to trails is welcome. We are looking at doing about 20ish miles. I have several possible routes in this range from multiple trail heads.
Thanks in advance....
