  This was the only water source we saw. There is a large marshy area to the left (SE) of this location which probably has small pools of water. Note the several butterflies clustering around the water. There were approximately a dozen butterflies in this one spot.

  The track with double red line is the one we followed. The solid red and blue tracks are the Hundred Peaks Section Hiking Routes 1 & 2 respectively. Both of these a re partly obscured by our track.

Lockwood Peak Survey - 11-12-2019 - by Jim Kenney

Link:	Lockwood Peak
Date:	11-12-2019
Surveyor Name:	Jim Kenney
Camp Description:	Started at Yellow Jacket and headed east.  The road is fairly sandy.  At the 2ish mile mark there are a few burnt logs on the right side that point their way up the gully.  There was a faint trail up the gully.  There are plenty of skree around that you need to navigate around some blowdowns.  After about 1/2 mile there is a good use trail on the left.  Simply follow this track to the top.  Care is needed because of the loose rocks in the gully othewise, not a terrible hike.

Lockwood Peak Survey - 08-17-2017 - by Dave Burnett

Link:	Lockwood Peak
Date:	08-17-2017
Surveyor Name:	Dave Burnett
Camp Description:	Nice hike of about 6 1/3 miles that Bob, Don and myself undertook.  We followed Hiking Route 1 from Hundreds Peak Section website to the peak and returned via Hiking Route 2 to the Yellow Jacket Trail where we turned left to return to our vehicle.  Yellow Jacket Trail is easy to follow.  The route up the gully is basically a path with some fallen trees and lots of boulders.   Ducks mark the path frequently, though there is little choice on where to proceed once into the gully.  Fewer markers in the gully we followed down, but not a problem since there is little choice to be made.
Water Source:	Dry
Water Source Details:	One small, stagnant source of water on Yellow Jacket Trail between the two gullies usable for access to Lockwood Peak.
Weather Conditions:	Great visibility in all directions. Temp was around 70 at the peak at 10 am.
