South Coldwater Trail to Coldwater Peak

Activity Notes

This will be a partial exploratory hike. I’ve hiked the South Coldwater trail a couple summers ago but haven’t taken the trail back to Ridge camp or Coldwater peak. Approximately 15 miles out and back, on an exposed to the sun trail, 3,700 ft elevation gain, if we do the peak. Plan for a long day, hopefully with rewarding views.

The hike pace is a calibrated average of hiking faster on flats and slower on elevation gains, 2-2.5mph, working in conjunction with time.The plan is to return to MMC by 7pm. 

*Note* I am a carless hike leader and will need willing carpool drivers departing from MMC @ 6:30am, for the hike to operate. NW Forest Pass Carpool riders $23 includes pass fee $2. 

Please message me when registering if you are able to carpool drive or if you prefer to be a carpool rider or if you prefer to meet at the trailhead. Thank you.
