Itinerary:

From where we meet (see below) we can carpool through the dry river bed to the trailhead. This will save us a 7 km round trip of walking which would make the hike about 11 kms from the start of the actual trailhead. The trail goes through the remains of the September 2020 forest fire to the old abandoned Fire Lookout on top of Black Rock Summit.

Required Items to Bring:
Poles, hat, sunscreen, bug spray, food, lots of water. MASKS for the carpool to the trailhead

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
