Trinity Divide to Castella

About this event

This backpack follows a section of the PCT in the Trinity Alps, opposite the Mt. Shasta area. The backpack will include spectacular views and several lakes.  The trip can be done in four days but I think I will extend it to 5 days to stop at more lakes and to summit Mt. Eddy the highest peak in the Trinity Alps. The backpack ends at Castle Crags, a popular climbing area.

We will do this trip soon after the 4th of July as the weather not too hot, springs are running and some earlier summer flowers are usually in bloom. 

I plan to take the train from Salem to Dunsmuir for the trip.

The backpack will be led by Dave Carter. For details, contact Dave at:

Difficulty : Medium; Leisurely pace
