Does anyone have a recent report on the Rio Grande river crossing to get to Beartown/Kite lake in the Northeast Weminuche wilderness area in the San Juan mountains?
Thanks in advance!
I am looking at driving and hiking in this area from about 18-28 July to bag many 13ers Is anyone else maybe interested as well?

Re: Recent report on Rio Grande river crossing to Beartown?
I don't know about that river crossing specifically, but I was backpacking over Hunchback Pass on the 3rd and there were at least 2-3 stock Jeeps in the Beartown area. Kite Lake was very accessible.
Here's a photo of the basin. https://picasaweb.google.com/1006774061 ... 1526094658" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
