There is plenty of water from the North...Hi Parker,<br />There is plenty of water from the North Lake trailhead over Piute Pass and into Humphreys Basin. As you leave Humphreys Basin beyond Hutchinson Meadow and you begin the steep descent to the junction with the JMT, Piute Creek is far below the trail until you are almost at the junction. This is a hot and dry exposed descent so have plenty of water for this section. Resupply below the Piute Creek bridge before you enter Kings Canyon Park. The San Joaquin River travels in a gorge below the JMT and again is not easy to access until a wooded section before a bridge crossing near the trail to Goddard Canyon. Finally, Resupply before the hot dry climb to Evolution Valley. You will eventually follow Evolution Creek and can resupply again. Water will be available except for a short stretch on the climb out of Evolution Valley to Evolution Lake. From there, water is available most of the trip. I assume you are doing a loop hike out of Bishop that will take you from North to South Lake.Dale Matsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975212053636312471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659229161342692060.post-74936581131235595432015-07-09T05:10:03.413-07:002015-07-09T05:10:03.413-07:00hiking into evolution basin via piute pass. wonde...hiking into evolution basin via piute pass. wondering if water is accessible from streams and the san joaquin river. please advise<br />thanksParkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781469751257364808noreply@blogger.com
