Anyone have any more water info for this trip? Considering an overnight with my 8 year old as a 2nd time backpack trip. The closeness/availability of water is a key concern.

I think it is a bit late in this dry year to camp on North Dome, especially with a kid. You will probably have to haul water from Lehamite Creek. Royal Arch Creek will likely be dry. And it will be HOT!

Thx. That was my instinct as well; got permits for Cathedral Lakes instead.
