<snip>wrt North Fork ... We walked the north fork from Cyphers down to the hunting lodge on our way to Websters. May be the prettiest walk i've taken on the ranch although our detour through hidden valley on the way from Websters to Tooth Ridge was well worth it.
Comment...
A claification that you are talking about the North Fork of Cimarroncito Creek, which is a pretty hike and was the trail building project in that area the past couple of summers.
The question was about North Fork Urraca, and I think more the hike from that camp up to Schaefers Pass, rather than along the creek. As others have posted, that is a steady climb up, just like the other side from Upper Clark's Fork / Ponderosa Park. The trail along the creek is very pretty, especially going downstream from Black Mountain camp where you catch glimpse of the Grizzly Tooth and other rock faces (you have to look back over your shoulder going upstream). That trail is famouse for its 50+ stream crossings in only few miles.
