“BACKPACKING CAMPSITE All of the Colima Campsites are located along the 1-mile Colima Trail. The Colima Trail connects the Pinnacles/Boot Canyon Trail with the Laguna Meadow Trail. From the Chisos Basin, the Colima Trail is 4.5 miles (7.2 km) via the Pinnacles Trail and 4.3 miles (6.9) via the Laguna Meadow Trail. Do not plan on finding these campsites in the dark. The Colima Area and campsites were impacted by the 2021 South Rim Fire. Burned trees and cleared areas are visible throughout the area. The Pinnacles Trail (gain of 1,700 ft, 518 m) has several very steep switchback sections. The Laguna Meadow Trail (gain of 1,600 ft, 487 m) climbs more gradually. The Colima Trail (gain/loss of 300 ft, 91 m) follows a saddle along the south side of Emory Peak. All of these trails are usually in fine condition all year long All of the Colima Campsites have their own access spur trails, are completely private from each other, and hidden from the main trail. All sites are well protected from sun and wind. CO-2: A very tiny campsite for 3 people only The Colima Campsites are completely sheltered under oak trees and therefore have NO distant views. Boot Spring is a seasonal/intermittent source of water. This water must be treated before drinking. No bathing or washing in the spring area. Check with a ranger about current flow. Hikers on 1-2 day trips should plan on carrying all their necessary water. Plan on at least 1 gallon (4 l)/24 hours/person. This is a hike-in site. Parking is available at the Chisos Basin trailhead or the Chisos Basin Amphitheater.”
