Idaho Exposure

Warm Springs Creek still had plenty of water; more than I recall two years ago. I descended to the west too far before entering what I thought was the entrance to the canyon leading north to Iron Basin. The angle of the slope never lessened, and there was no water in the drainage. Rather than trying to reach the ridge, I decided to descend, and camp at the creek. This would allow me to find the correct entrance, and climb in the cool of the morning with plenty of water and some needed rest.
