| Eric Holle | Hot Springs/Garner Trail Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2007 | |
| Hiked in Hot Springs trail and up the West Ridge of Cottonwood. I continued in good weather over Pt 13,123 and pressed on to Thirsty Peak. Thirsty marked a milestone for the year being the 75th summit attained since the first of the year. After Thirsty Peak, I cruised over to Lakes Peak, down the west ridge to the saddle and into and out the Garner Trail back to my truck and a cold Dale's Pale Ale. I ran into Rick on the trail and had some great conversations early in the morning and late in the day. | |

| Excellent early season climb! I realy enjoyed this mountain even though I was chased off the summit by hail. Eagle Peak to the east is still on my to do list. Hot Springs Canyon is an intimate introduction to the norther Sanges (although not as sweet as the Wild Cherry Creek drainage). My main complaint about Cottonwood is it isn't composed of Crestone Conglomerate. It is a most excellent mountain though! Along with me were my dogs Raymond and Sopris. Jon Bradford | |

| A sketchy day, but we managed to bag Cottonwood and its unnamed neighbor. | |
