← Trail around Red Lake is rough – but the rest isn’t too bad
Trail is in excellent shape – great views from rockslide →

Very nice day for November.

Trip Details

Date: November 21, 2025

Trail: Cottonwood Meadows

Trail #: 705

Submitted by: Kirk

Trail Conditions

The road to the lower trailhead on 4635-120 was really muddy and slick from recent logging activity in the area. There are numerous logs across the trail until it comes out at the 5830-265 spur. The trail above the lake is in really good condition due to recent maintenance. On this trip we located a short isolated section of the trail NNW of the 260-270 intersection.
