Cold Springs is a short, easy out-and-back hike in the Klamath Ranger District of Oregon's Fremont-Winema National Forest, about a mile from the trailhead. The route rises about 97 feet from a low point of 5,813 feet to a high of 5,919 feet, with the steepest stretch at about 0.37 miles in. The trail is natural-surface and allows horses, and it is not an accessible route. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 69°F with only about four wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the low 30s and rain on 17 or 18 days. The hike takes about half an hour, and the trail is open year-round. Diamond Lake Snomo starts just 0.1 mile away, and South Rock Creek is about half a mile off. Cold Spring Trail and Isherwood Trail are both about 2 miles away.
