Hi Barry,

Monument Creek and Hermit Creek are both perennial, always flowing, reliable sources. At Granite Rapids or Hermit Rapids, you’re on the Colorado River, which is clear at times, murky other times.

Have a good trip!

They sound “wet.” Reliable sources in late March and/or September/October?
