3-day backpacking trip at Garden of the Gods (Shawnee) — looking for water/campsite advice
My friends and I are planning a 3 day / 3 night backpacking trip in Garden of the Gods, Shawnee National Forest next month. We’re considering the River to River / Indian Point area and would appreciate advice on:
- reliable water sources in late spring
- best campsites
- loop direction
- anything we shouldn’t miss (landmarks)
I can share our tentative route in the comments if helpful.
