This peak is trailless, meaning a portion or all of the route up the mountain is via an unmarked trail. For this particular mountain, the typical route is known as a ''herd path'' which is not much more than a worn, but unmarked trail. Some of the herd paths are easy to follow, others are not. In many instances the hiker will travel down a false herd path and eventually have to correct his/her course via backtracking. For these particular mountains, it is imperative that the hiker carry |
a compass (and know how to use it) and topographic map. Says Kevin Corcoran
You'll must go far from Gardnerville Ranchos to get to Pacific Crest Trail - section 13, but when you spend some time backcountry trekking here you will feel like a whole new person. Going for a
| | trek here in California is so much fun. There are numerous great outdoors hiking trails in California, and each one is different from the others. While visiting this region in California it's a splendid idea to go backcountry hiking too. At parts of the year this area sees very little rain, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. This is a two-ended hiking trail with two trailheads which means you have the option of trekking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. | |
