Are there camping restrictions in any of these areas? We're dropping down the west side for a couple of days. Any opinions of the area?

Need bear cans, may need WAG bags--but not sure. Guitar popular, the others desolate.

Wag bags are required anywhere above Crabtree Meadows.

As mentioned in another post, when you're coming over from the west side, you'll see a container that should have some at the Crabtree Meadows junction.

Thanks, Richard. I had looked over the USFS site, and I'll be darned if I could find the specific areas covered. (sigh)
