Cassidy Bridge and beyond: I need info!
Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 5:13 pm
Has anyone hiked across the Middle Fork San Joaquin River---from McCreary trailhead down to the Cassidy Bridge, and then up towards Pincushion Peak? From Pincushion, I'm hoping to drop into Fish Creek Valley and visit Iva Bell hot springs. Unfortunately, the interwebs contain virtually no information about the trails from McCreary TH and Fish Creek. The best (and virtually only) thing I've found is Bob Burd's report about McCreary to Balloon Dome (http://www.snwburd.com/bob/comments/balloon_dome_1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).
Does anyone know if this trail has been maintained in the last decade? Do you have old photos of this area?
I want to visit this area as an early-season warm up trek during the second week in June. I suspect the road to Red's Meadow will still be snowbound at that time, which seems like the perfect opportunity to visit Iva Bell before the summer crowds arrive. I appreciate any tips and info. Thanks.
