Water reliability of Horse Canyon (Little Death Hollow/Wolverine Loop) during dry year

[Jorey]

I walked Silver Falls last October, but we had kind of a late start and passed by Cliff Spring. I'm curious how hard it is to get up to it?

We came down from the rim and I don't recall anything of note other than the lower part of it being a little cowed up. But easy(if squishy wet) to get closer to the source. So it would depend on how much it's flowing.

There is a cattle trail from the rim basically to the floor of the canyon IIRC.

appreciate the info! this is such a nice area, although the stretch along the river between Silver Falls and Choprock was pretty thrashy. next time I'm in that area I might just walk both down and up Choprock instead of doing the loop-- what a great canyon it is

How was it? Update on conditions?

Horse Canyon had a little flow between Little Death Hollow and Wolverine Creek. But this was a few weeks ago, so idk if there will still be water.

ages and ages ago I drove down Horse Canyon to LDH, is that road still cherry stemmed in, or has it been closed?

Just back from the area. Still flow in Horse to LDH. Also, the spring in Wolverine was flowing better than I expected and could have gotten water if needed.
