Carberry Creek Quadrangle Hikes

 Collings Mountain Trail 

From Watkins Campground, this trail leads toward the Collings Mountain summit then skirts around, heading back down towards the highway and the curiosity known as the "bigfoot trap." There is a modest view of Applegate Lake, but there are no spectacular viewpoints to mention. On an unseasonably warm day in January, we hiked an out-and-back from Watkins Campground to the summit. Here are the statistics for the ascent only:

Distance: 2.86 miles
Duration: 45 minutes
Minimum Elevation: 2129 feet
Maximum Elevation: 3458 feet
Approx. Elevation Gain: 1376 feet
