Great trail for a summer hike with dogs due to the number of creek crossings. Very easy crossings in late July. Started at Panjab TH and made the right turn up Turkey Creek Tr. The trail from the Panjab TR junction is beautiful. Berry bushes, old growth, flowers. Steady but never a strenuous climb up to the Teepee TH.

We continued on to Oregon Butte then along the ridge to the north to meet up with the Panjab Tr to make a loop back down to the Panjab TH.

Plenty of water along the first 3/4 of Turkey Creek, one spring with a built in trough on the Oregon Butte trail, then no water on the ridge (Mt Misery) heading to the Panjab Tr. Next water option is about a mile down Panjab Tr from Mt Misery Tr. 

Thunderstorms came in while we were on the ridge so we jogged most of it to limit our time up there.

Participated in a 4-day WTA work party in the area from a high camp at Indian Corral/Dunlap Spring. Our group of 12 logged out about 4 miles down the Crooked Creek Trail and as far as Oregon Butte to the west and Sheephead Spring to the east along the Mount Misery Trail. Our hike in and out via the Panjab Trail was facilitated by a pack string that transported our gear courtesy of the USFS. 

One evening I mustered up the energy to hike out to Oregon Butte to view the sunset and full moon rising at the same time. Beautiful!

In all we cleared more than 100 trees over 13 miles of trail and did other assorted work. Good times!

A FS employee stated that trails in the area will be getting much attention this summer so get out and enjoy. 

Did one night trip on the Panjab, Mt. Misery, Turkey Creek loop from the Panjab trailhead. Some snow at the high parts, a little bit of hail, and a few ticks, but was a great early season backpack. 

Panjab trail was in good shape, and the stretch from Indian Corral to Oregon Butte on the Mt. Misery trail was snow free and only a few downed trees to cross. Camped at Emergency Spring, and were treated with an excellent view.

There is a fair amount of snow between Oregon Butte and Teepee trailhead, but was easy to navigate with trekking poles. Views into Oregon and Idaho were incredible! Teepee trailhead had a Subaru Outback in the parking lot so I assume that road is passable.

Turkey Creek trail had 15 or so blow downs, making for some creative maneuvering. 

The road from Godman camp to Teepee TH is still impassable due to snow. We walked past the first field at Godman but the road was snow covered as far ahead as we could see. 

Couldn't quite get to the trailhead. The road leading to the trailhead was largely snow free, but a few miles before the Godman Guard Station (a couple miles after you take a right at the stone monument) the road was covered in a foot or two of snow. Vehicles with four wheel drive could probably make it, but I didn't try in my 2wd. I probably would have taken the chance if the snow weren't next to a steep drop off. Sorry this isn't actually a trip report but thought it may be helpful for people wondering what snow cover is like out there. Luckily the road to the trailhead had plenty of nice campsites so we just setup camp there and explored around there. Saw an elk on our way out in the morning and plenty of people on their 4-wheelers. 

Also kind of disappointing how much trash was left behind by people at the campsites. There were beer cans and paper plates left in the firepit. There was also broken glass in a few different spots around the campground. Apparently it was too tough for people to cleanup after themselves and just put their trash in their car.
