North Group Sierra Club Hike

Medium difficulty, 5-mile hike. Carpools meet at 9:00 a.m. at the Valley West (Ray's) Shopping Center in Arcata or at 10:00 a.m. at the Horse Mountain parking area. The hike will be on two loop trails, each just over 2 miles, mostly on dirt roads. The first loop is to the west of the parking area, past the old “Ski Chalet” site, with views of the King Range, the Siskiyous, and the coast. The other loop is to the north and east among several kinds of pines, red rocks, and a short stretch of cobblestone-strewn single track, looking at the Trinity Alps, the Yolla Bollys and hopefully a peek at Mt. Lassen. Bring lunch, water and good hiking footwear. No dogs. Contact leader Ned for more info at 707-825-3652 (message phone) or [email protected]. Heavy rain cancels.
