Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) – BOOTS on the TRAIL

Flume Trail (Castle Crags State Park, CA) 21-Jul-2021

An interesting loop through the lower reaches of California’s Castle Crags State Park.

An excellent hike to the summit of Boulder Peak above California’s Seven Lakes Basin.

A brief, but welcome, escape into cooler, less smokey air along the Pacific Crest Trail.

A short, but good, hike to a favorite high point and a rumination on change.

A return to some remote lakes to see, up-close, the effects of our current drought.

A more aerobic alternative route to Rhyolite Ridge, with interesting terrain and big views along the way.
