About This Trail

It's difficult to get to the top of the mountain. Translating: Colden There is no trail and the only way to reach the boulders and trees is by foot. It is said that when you emerge onto the big west facing slides on Colden you will be in for some serious climbing. It is possible to climb this climb without rock climbing gear but you would have to acclimatize to climbing steep slabs of rock. The descent route will take you past Indian Falls and back to the dam.
