Koda Creek

A small tributary dropping into Paradise Creek with some very nice rappels. Be aware, the climb out is nasty. It actually might be worth dropping by the exit before entering the creek and leaving a rim rope there for your return (see "Exit" below). Alternately, plan to hike out via the creek and leave a shuttle down at the campground. Doing Koda sans shuttle is about a half-day adventure and leaves plenty of time to visit Backwoods Brewing in Carson. Watershed: 1.34mi^2.

From the Paradise Creek Campground, follow the Wind River Rd north towards Old Man Pass for 3mi. Turn off left on FR 102 (approx. UTM 10N 582950mE 5092285mN)and follow it for 1.2mi to a saddle just above Koda Creek. Watch for elk. From the parking area, bushwhack west (easy) for 0.25mi to drop into the creek. Go downstream a few hundred feet to reach the place where Koda Creek abruptly drops off into the valley. A nice area of bedrock marks the final approach to the falls.
