#11  -  Mt. Colden
Elevation 4714 ft
 

 

 

Colden and the MacIntyres from the Loj Road


 

 

 

Colden from the Lake Arnold Trail

 


 


Access -  State Land from N,S,E,W.
Route -   2 State trails, bushwhack up a trap dike, or a SE approach via a slide.
Summit -    Open rock, great views, 360 degree.
Quad -   Keene Valley
Mountain Range -  No specific range. Located close to the MacIntyre Range, but technically not within.
Winter Access -  Yes, same as non-winter access. The Trap Dike makes for a technical winter approach, becoming very popular. Usually hard packed from heavy traffic.
Misc. - Was named for David Colden, a proprietor of a mining company in the area. With four stand alone routes up this peak, be sure to combine two for a memorable loop. All routes can be easily reached from the ADK Loj, so only one car is needed for any loop.
