Taking A Trip

[Fructose]

Myself and a hand full of friends of mine are planning a 3-5 day backpacking trip into the Sipsey Wilderness vicinity. We've been there a few times, but only on short hikes for a few hours. Are their any recommended places we could hike in to off the beaten path, yet still fairly accessable?

Due to the county road systems in the area, there is no real off the beaten path trails.  But you guys should just pick the big loop and go.  You'll have a great time doing the big loop (The name eludes me at the moment and I'm short of time.).  My suggestion is to always try to camp close to water.  After a hot days hiking in the Sipsey area you will be begging for a way to get the sweat off.  There is little breeze to be found once you get away from the parking areas.  The woods there are THICK.

You could probably slap through most of the trails in the entire sipsey wilderness in the higher end of that time frame.  If you can handle the ticks and the heat, there are several off trail marks worth seeing....the wolfpen/little ugly creeks loop comes to mind, parker creek/falls, quillan creek.
