Decided on the Dominguez Wilderness. Mainly because of some of the trip reports but also because I already had the Trails Illustrated map of the area, and I'm too lazy to do more research on alternatives.

Anyways, would like to park a car at the trailhead at Bridgeport and do a shuttle to the Dominguez Campground up-canyon. Then we could take a leisurely multi-day backpack down the canyon back to the car.

Is anyone willing/able to help me with a shuttle? My buddy and I are flying into town separately but will likely only rent 1 car.

Obviously I'd reimburse you plus some extra money for your troubles. Alternatively if anyone knows of shuttle services in the area that won't balk at taking people up to the upper trailhead at that time of year (Like American Spirit Shuttle did 3 years ago to me), I'd take references too.

Oh, this would be on or around April 6th.

Thanks
 
I might be able to help out depending on time of day. April 6th is middle of the week so I will be at work from about 7am-4pm
 
I can understand you wanting to do the whole canyon. Having said that the upper part is pretty wet, lot's of beaver ponds, and frankly not as scenic. But this my opinion obviously. If you could get a ride to the Cactus Park trailhead (4wd), you have a short backpack to get into the canyon, and you are in the best part IMO. Either way you go it is a great hike, amid spectacular waterfalls and rock formations. The side canyon on your right (LDC) down from cactus park is a nice side canyon, with a great campspot at the junction w/Dominguez. If you are interested in some other campspots you can PM me.
If you can't find a someone to shuttle I can probably help.
