Phillips Junction

Commissary

Elevation    8,940 ft

Description

PJ is a commissary (no camping) in a pleasant valley in the middle of a confusion of trails and roads. Follow your compass (or the creeks) and you'll find it with no problem. Note PJ does have showers, but the water pump is driven by solar power, so no showers until the sun is over the ridge — after about 9 AM.

Activities

Food pickup (some itineraries), fresh fruit, trading post. Showers available.

Water

Purified water is available near the main warehouse.

Nearby Camps

Beaubien is about 2 miles to the northeast by trail.

Trails

There is a confusion of trails and roads around PJ - many leading nowhere. To the northwest are trails leading to Crooked Creek and Clear Creek. To the northeast is Beaubien. South along Rayado Creek eventually reaches Fish Camp, and southwest works its way over the ridge to Apache Springs.
