Why You Should Go Now
Wildflowers blooming
We did a great one way hike with car shuttle -- started at the South Coldwater trail head and ended at the Johnston Visitor Center (trails 230A, 230 and 1). We hiked up Coldwater peak, the highlight of the day. Great views and lots of wildflowers. There are a few small patches of snow here and there around the peak area, but easy to navigate through/around.

Stats:
13.3 miles total distance
4280 feet total elevation gain
