Introduction
While not as good as the North Fork of Lost Springs, the two can easily be combined and done on the same day. It is fairly easy to downclimb all of the drops. The recommended exit is up the South Fork which is highly scenic just above the confluence with the Middle Fork. To exit up South Fork you will encounter a dry fall after a prominent curve in the wall. Reverse course a couple hundred feet and there is a walk up. Hike up the slickrock dome, then down the other side to reach the South Fork again. South Fork is an open drainage. It is roughly 2 miles to exit.
