You ought not have much trouble crossing the creek. Between the topo ponds at ~8200 feet are a couple of places where the creek concentrates that one could jump across without getting wet. ...David

Does anyone have a 2016 update on the 4 wheel road to Bear Diversion Dam? If not passable by low clearance 2 wheel drive, are there shuttles/ pickups one could hire from around Edison Lake/ Vermillion Lodge area? We can always walk out; probably not a huge issue to walk in, but maybe worth the time and distance saved? Your thoughts?

John
