12 miles of hiking • 2750' elevation gain •
Started at Park Creek summit and took the PCT to Deadfall Lakes. Loved the alpine parkland with Jeffrey Pines, Shasta firs and cool serpentine rocks all around. Was surprised to find big meadows of Darlingtonia at 8000 ft elevation. Mt Eddy is a former LO site, with some remnants, a very nice mountaintop with cool ridges to explore. I wandered along one of them, then had to downclimb sketchy scree field and traverse a beautiful alpine basin to return to the PCT. Shasta is supposed to be in your face, but it was hiding behind cloud all day. Hiked out in a snowstorm.
