Unlike the big mountains of the Lost River Range, there are plenty of places to filter water from streams flowing from the upper part of Hyndman Basin all the way back to the trailhead. We packed all of our water in (two liters each in our Camelbak's)and were fine. I really enjoyed the hike and scramble to the summit. The trail length at 13.5 miles roundtrip makes for a long day so hit the trail early to avoid the possibility of afternoon thunderstorms.

WaterNice report. Are there places to filter water on the way up? Can you recommend approximately how much to carry?
