Salt River Range

[Bob]

Our (Scatman, Wsp_Scott, Wsp_Scott's son, Bob and Chuckwalla) intentions were to do a 4 night southern half of the Salt River Range traverse of 32 miles....... but we only completed half of it do to time constraints and unexpectedly extreme slow going on another "Bob" route. The others can chime in with their own creative trip report narratives and pics.

Gorgeous valley along with patented Bob terrain!

Looks pretty incredible, Bob! And way greener than I would've expected.

Nice looking terrain, especially with green vegetation. Normally a lot of brown by late summer/early fall when I fished the Grey. How bad were the mosquitoes?

 

[Jackson]

Very nice! Looks like a great earlier season outing.

Also I think you may have accidentally copied and pasted your paragraph and photos a few times. It repeats a few times in the report.

Looks awesome! The list keeps growing...

Don't know what happened....wasn't like that when I checked after posting...

They were there.............
Down along the Grey's River was hot, dry and browning.

It was a great trip with awesome weather. Day 2 sucked as far as bugs go, the other days were awesome.

Thanks for planning this, even if it did not go according to plans. I'll definitely be back.

Smiths Fork TH to Corral Creek Lake, then mostly off trail to Crow Creek Lakes.
Red is actual. Blue is intended route.

I had previously had my eye on this closely related route, which stays up on the ridge crest for a long time. Does you (or anyone else) know how that ridge works out in practice? From Google Earth most of it looks fairly chill, but I've been deceived by the imagery before too.

There is a utube video on a couple that did the ridge walk. I prefer lower elevation below the ridge scenery
