This is an open, exposed camp on RR about 1 mile above the start of Turnback Canyon. There is a camp closer to Turnback on RL about 1/2 mile below. I liked being on RR and having access to the Tweedsmuir Glacier for hiking while we waited for the chopper. This camp is laid out much like Marble Creek with a lower kitchen area and upper sleeping beach, but little cover. There was a great parking eddy at the mouth of a dry braid channel.
