Just around the bend, I locate Butcher Knife Spring and get to the business of pumping some water into my near-empty Camelbak
The water trickles over this rock into a small pool below, just deep enough for the intake hose of my water filter. The water is clear and clean, much better than the water at Cottonwood Spring, and it's refreshingly cool.
