Trail Challenge 2024 – Its Not Too Late!

The weather this week is a clear reminder that the seasons are turning but don’t let that stop you from finishing your 2024 Trail Challenge! The Mount Shasta Tourist Center only has a few 2024 Trail Challenge sticker sheets left so get out there and get er’ done!

The summer crowds are mostly gone, so head back to Castle Lake or the McCloud waterfalls and enjoy them in a more peaceful environment.

The recent rains have firmed up some of our great bike trails, so maybe give Muir’s Ascension a try but please don’t damage the unopened trails like Magma or Deadwood.  

Dunsmuir just made a Top 10 for Fall Foliage list so why not check out the Dunsmuir River trail for an easy walk along the river to the Dunsmuir Botanical Garden.  Click here.

Lastly, go check out the super cute and BRAND NEW fish themed playground next to the Mount Shasta Fish Hatchery and the Elsa Rupp trail.

Having said all that, we ARE getting ready for the 2025 Trail Challenge and just reconnoitered a new trail in this beautiful weather.  Can anyone identify this trail that will be on next year’s challenge?   Hint, it’s on a lake:)
