Local Sights/Info

There are several hiking trails out of Cold Meadows. The typical scenery includes open meadows and woods of mostly lodge pole pines. There are numerous places to pitch a tent and water for filtering or boiling is available from the many local small streams. Take some warm cloths - like the name says, it gets cold here at night, even in the summer. Snow in June is possible. Mud and slush after melting snow can make for an interesting landing or takeoff.
