Buck Camp or Gravely Ford from Chiquito Trailhead, Sierra NF

Post by webdweeb »

I've been looking at options for this trailhead and previously focused on the Chain Lakes and Breeze Lake options, but today I looked at the topo map and wondered about a lollipop to the west, around Buena Vista Peak-there are some nice looking lakes on that loop (Royal Arch, Buena Vista, Grouse, Crescent, Johnson), so this could be a worthy option to the eastward routes I've been focused on. Two locations on the Caltopo 2016 FS map overlay look like promising first or last night stops-Gravely Ford/Swamp Lake and Buck Camp. If anyone here has been by either of these locations and has any comments on their suitability as campsites, inclding water availability, I would be much obliged for your input. Thanks!
