I have looked at some people blogs on this area but a lot of them use names like cherry bomb and flintstone camp which are not noted on any maps. I was hoping to hike up kibbie ridge or start at crabtree and explore the cherry creek drainages for 3 nights. is the hiking pretty straight forward or scrambling style from lord meadow down to the junction of west cherry creek this time of year. Cherry bomb canyon looks very constricted but was hoping to walk in the canyon due to low water. is that possible? thanks for any help. Also I was hoping to go up kibble ridge early in the am as it looks like a heat wave is on its way. I would start this trip on this thursday morning.
Thanks for any helpful hints on this area,

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: Questions on cherry creek exploration
Yeah. I'm finding that to be true of most blogs i find. Many do have photos but not much beta on difficult spots and route specifics. I am hoping to walk near the creek from lord meadow down to cherry bomb gorge. I was seeing if that is possible in low water. Cherry bomb canyon looks pretty restricted but I've only seen photos of it in high water. Looks like I'll try my best to put together some info on the area!
