I hiked the Dodson on January 25th, and Fresno Creek WAS running at the point the trail intersects the creek. We hiked a few hundred yards downstream and had lunch while filtering some water out of one of the pools.

I should have a trip report up within a week or so, and I'll have to pick some of the best pictures, since I took over 1,000! What a beautiful place, I just couldn't stop snapping pictures along the way.
