Hi all - my college age nephew is interested in doing the Cottonwood-Marble loop as a 3 day backpack in mid-March, along with a buddy of his. This would be beyond my abilities, especially if I tried to keep up with them, so they'll be on their own. My questions are whether the loop is open, where can I drop them off given I have a van that is neither HC nor 4WD, and any other considerations we should plan for? I have no worries about their physical abilities; Alex came to DV with me one year and we did a couple of single night backpacks; that kid can go most anywhere and carry any load. Thanks for y'all's help!
