Spring (a destination along the Mt. Naomi Peak National
Recreation Trail) |
| USFS Trail Number |
005 (Mt. Naomi Peak National Recreation Trail) |
| Geographic Area | Tony Grove, upper Logan Canyon |
| Length |
1.7 miles from the Tony Grove Backcountry Trailhead to Coldwater Spring |
| Description |
Access
via the Tony Grove Backcountry Trailhead, 0.7 miles east
of Tony Grove Lake (also by a connecting trail from
Campsite 13 in the Tony Grove Lake Campground). To get to
Tony Grove, turn west from US 89 at mile 481 in Logan
Canyon, then 6 miles to the short road leading to the
Backcountry Trailhead or 6.7 miles to the lake. The
trail climbs gently through a shady forest, passing the
Bear Hollow junction at mile 1.2 and arriving at Coldwater
Spring at mile 1.7. The trail crosses above the
spring - look for the watering trough, below the
trail. Coldwater Spring usually flows abundantly
with cool water. A pipe feeds water to a trough for
livestock. There are problems of shortcutting along
the trail section between Coldwater Spring and the
trailhead - please stay on the maintained trail to help
control erosion. This area offers many hiking options. You can continue east to the Mount Naomi Wilderness boundary, then north to Smithfield Canyon or south toward Cottonwood Canyon, Mt. Elmer, Wood Camp, Blind Hollow or Green Canyon. We have enjoyed a pleasant 7mile loop hike via the Hansen Pond Trail and Blind Hollow Trail (shown below, traveling in the clockwise direction so Coldwater Spring is not encountered until mile 5.5). |
