| no partners | | It was a nice challenging hike for me, that offered a great view at the peak of Whiskeytown Lake and the surrounding area. There was an awesome shaded bench at the peak that I ate lunch at. It was a hot hike, and I would not recommend hiking it while it is so sunny and warm still. It'd make for a great hike in maybe October or November.
Some of the leaves on the trees were changing yellow, and others were red. It was nice to see, but most of the trees were still green. Unfortunately I added an extra mile each way and 500ft elevation by parking 1 mile from the trailhead since the guide stated the road was only for 4x4 vehicles. In reality, I could have easily driven up to the trailhead so I had to hike back an extra mile in the hot sun since there weren't many trees offering shade on the road.
All in all, it was a great hike to start getting back in shape for longer hikes. I enjoyed the elevation, and am ready for a lazy rest of the day. |
