Hike to the Etna Mountain Summit

Etna, California

6 mi / 800 ft gain

To start off, you're going to want to navigate to the Etna Summit Trailhead (5956 ft). There's a small parking lot off to the side and we did not need any passes for our overnight trip. Since the summit isn't the main destination for many people in this area, you'll want to follow the Pacific Crest Trail southbound toward Upper Ruffey Lake (6885 feet). It's a relatively easy walk with a steady ...

Grizzly Lake via China Gulch Trailhead

14.6 mi / 5112 ft gain

Grizzly Lake is in the Trinity Alps Wilderness. The lake is know for its brilliant waterfall flowing from the lake's surface straight off the side of a cliff and roughly 600 feet down to the meadow below. Grizzly lake is located in some of America's most amazing and remote alpine wilderness, including Thompson Peak, the highest peak in the Trinity Alps, which hoovers above Grizzly lake. Getti...

Fort Jones, California

11.88 mi / 2070 ft gain

The Marble Mountains are part of the Klamaths, a biologically and geologically diverse range of peaks and ridges often overshadowed by its western neighbors in the Cascades. The Marble Rim is the signature feature of this subrange, a white wall of rock that glimmers in the sun. The nearby Sky High Lakes basin adds to the scenery, making this a great overnight trip, and perhaps an even better mu...

Hike to the Caribou Lakes, Shasta-Trinity Alps

Forks of Salmon, California

4.0

16 mi / 3000 ft gain

Hike through the most majestic and unforgettable mountain ranges, alpine terrains, glacier lakes outside of the Sierra Nevada in Northern California. Yes, it's a long drive there and a lengthy hike, but if you have any doubts about whether this is worth the effort, just go! I struggled with the same doubts about the trip, but could not be more thankful that I got to do this hike.This is a tradi...

Hike Lyons Ranch

Orick, California

4 mi

This is really a dirt road that is gated off from Bald Hills Road. The trail head parking can fit about 6 cars but seldom do people venture out this way. After all, the attraction of Redwood National Park is the redwoods but this high prairie is definitely worth exploring.The walk to the ranch is 2 miles in. It is an easy walk along a dirt road that weaves across prairie land and a few sections...

Hike the Emerald Ridge - Redwood Creek Loop

Humboldt County, California

6 mi / 900 ft gain

This loop begins at the Tall Trees Trailhead. To access this parking area, you must have a permit that you can obtain from the Kuchel ranger station. The gate is locked. When you get the permit, the ranger will also give you the combination to the gate. Once you drive through, close the gate and lock again.The Emerald Ridge Trail begins just from the parking lot and off the Tall Tree Trail....
