June brings both challenges and opportunities to several 2025 Mount Shasta Trail Challenge trails. Don’t let these challenges hold you back! Take advantage of the opportunities!!
Greenhorn Park, including the Miners/Humbug Loop: CalFire is planning a prescribed burn June 2-13 which will affect the trail network. Wait until this work is done and then go to check out all it has to offer. There are hiking and biking trails, surprisingly lush lawns, and even fishing! This park is the gem of Yreka and was featured in a recent article: Link
Spring Hill Trail: On May 21st there was a 12-acre fire that burned up the Northwest aspect. Mount Shasta Police are asking trail users to avoid the area while it is being rehabilitated.
Kangaroo Lake Trail: Trail users just started reporting that the snow is mostly cleared and the trail is open. Nearby trails like the Fen Nature Trail and the PCT may still be impacted.
Siskiyou Lake Loop: The seasonal bridge is NOT yet in place due to heavy snow melt. You can of course do an out and back to check this one off your list.
Sisson Callahan Trail: Trail work led by the USFS is scheduled for June 7 which is National Trails Day. What an excellent opportunity to volunteer if you are unfamiliar with this trail. RSVP taylor.cole2@usda.gov
MX Trail: This little piece of trail will see a lot of action on June 14 and should be avoided. The Mount Shasta Gromduro youth mountain bike event would be fun to volunteer at https://youthmtbcollective.org/shasta-gromduro
