Mt Columbia 14,078   35th highest out of 53

West Slopes

July 20, 2019

I left the North Cottonwood Trailhead at 3:15 am and summited at 8:30 am. I was back at my Truck at 12:15 pm.

Guide book say 12 miles RT but my IPhone checked in at 15.7 RT!

A beautiful day on this peak with no wind at the summit.

Trail was great up to 11,000'. The CFI has been working on a new trail up to the ridge but it is currently not complete.

Visit the CFI here: www.14ers.org

The road to the trail head is extremly busy and noisy. I tried to car camp at a pull-out near the road and cars were coming up and down the road til about midnight.
