[3/3] Day 3 backpacking Yolla Bolly: Finishing the circuit with two more named peaks to tag on the way. First Blue Slide by the side of the trail just before everything got dicey. Second Horsehead Mountain where three forests and three major watersheds meet.

[1/3] Yolla Bolly! This time backpacking the area of Shell Mountain for three days, although the plan kept morphing.
The first day, we didn't get far. We didn't get to the trailhead for the downed trees and we didn't get to the planned camp for the fact the newly selected trail connecting to the planned trail didn't actually exist.
The details are here: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2026/03/shell-mountain-north-fork-middle-eel.html

Yolla Bolly! \o/
I feel like there was maybe more snow on it last year as we worked trail near North Yolla Bolly in May.
Plans kept changing as this short escapade developed, but it was ultimately for the better. Well, maybe not the first change. But everything else was for the better.

Days 4+5: back at the trail work, this time getting out to a fabled area of Cedar Basin. Well, at least someone many of us knew had hiked the area and said it was a particularly nice spot.

Day 3 was moving day and had lots of free time, so I got to hike the Wilderness high point, which happens to be the Mendocino National Forest high point too!

Back to Yolla Bolly for a little trail work, this time around the south mountains. This is the very southern end of the Bigfoot Trail! The first two days, we worked to Long Lake and along a connector trail for the Ides Cove National Recreation Trail.

It wasn't in the plan, but I was at the trailhead, so I took off on a short hike and kept on going on a longer and longer hike with an excellent peak bagged before turning back.
