Tyler and I had planned to go up to Weed, Ca. this last Saturday for about a week. On the way there however are the Castle Crags, so we decided to stop off and make the hike. It was a strenuous 2.7 miles up and then again back down, but well worth it. If anyone lives in this area, it's quite fun and a real cheap date at just $8 for the parking pass.
This was on the way up. Whenever I see a cut through the forest like this it reminds me of a big scar. Like the one everyone has on their knee.
You can see Mt. Shasta from the trail. We went up to the little town on Mt. Shasta later that day.
Another view from the trail, as we were coming up on it.
So there you have it folks, a view from the top..
...looking at the top. It is a huge crag. If you ever get the chance to hike this trail, you should.
On the way back we hiked over to Indian Springs and filled our water bottles. The water tastes delicious, especially after you've run out because you didn't plan on doing a spontaneous 5 mi. hike.
