Know Before You Go:

  • Purchase your pass/day-use fee before arriving at the trailhead.

  • This is an excellent trail to visit during shoulder season as the snow provides an element of interest to the normally arid, barren landscape.

  • If you hike here in the summer, bring lots of water as the climate is very dry.

  • We recommend hiking the loop counterclockwise for the best views.

  • This trail is best done in the late afternoon if you're looking for good photography light.

  • You can find bathrooms just down the road at the Coldwater Lake parking lot.

  • A short, family-friendly trail.

  • If you’re looking for a longer hike, take the spur up to Loowit Point.
