In the West Salmon Mountains of Trinity Alps Wilderness, day 2 followed better trail, as we headed up to Horse Ridge Trail along Horse Trail Ridge, tagging Trinity Summit (Guard Station) and North Trinity Mountain along the way. It hardly ever lost us!

2nd day: Starting off fighting snow, heading north on the PCT as the trail eventually gets to a ridge line walk. We headed up, appropriately, Big Ridge for the day's destination, then returned to Paradise Lake.

The second day backpacking, there was much ridge views and even a peak to bag (Rattlesnake Mountain) along both the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the Boundary National Recreation Trail.

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!

Day 2 had the one peak to bag with its Buena Vista as well as some beautiful lakes to stop by: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2025/08/buena-yosemite-buena-vista-lake-and.html

Day 4 was for returning, but there was enough time for one more peak and a visit to the triple point. Water from there variously goes into the Smith River (via middle fork), the Illinois River (via east fork), and Klamath River (via Clear Creek).

The details: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2025/06/preston-youngs-peak.html

Day 3 had thoughts of some diversions, then different, better, actual diversions while making some of the return. The higher, but not highest, peak was bagged.

Next, the hike:
https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2025/05/black-rock-mountain-lookout.html
which visited the old Guard Station location and then climbed to the fire lookout location. Only one is still standing and none were entered.

Although a little busy on a weekend day and a little bit on road, this was a surprisingly nice hike to a peak and old lookout site where the view really opened out.

Here's the easy way to get up Hayfork Bally, if you don't want the 8.5 mile lesser maintained trail and Jeep road route:

I decided it was time for a little peak bagging, complete with lookout. Oh, and a waterfall to check out and still on the Bigfoot Trail route.

Day 2 wasn't far, but had excursions to make it longer than the first. Out along Hanson Ridge and up to the fire lookout on Grasshopper Mountain and one that shall simply be known simply as The Excursion.

The weather was fine for a trip up Corey Peak, high enough for a little crust of snow in places.

A journey to the high point of the Garfield Hills. It's a 2000 foot prominence peak, so "hills" seems a bit of a misnomer.

Some more peak bagging, but staying warmer by keeping lower. (Probably more useful was the lack of wind.) Exploring some area mining on the way up, too.

A hike to see a striking, but rather short, peak. Then on to a taller, but not so striking, peak. The geology of the Esmeralda Formation (I think) dominates interesting patches along the way.

Back to peak bagging with a stroll along the Silver State Trail (first nationally recognized… er… OHV trail) to the top of Grey Dome and back.

I stopped by an old corral to make a trailless hike to the highest point of the Fat South Egans Wilderness. It is a rugged place, but folks have discovered a route that is very straightforward right to the top.

The final day in South Egan Range Wilderness, I headed up a peak erroneously identified as the high point on a trailhead sign. Though easy on one side, it is a high cliff on the other. I stopped to check on a spring first, then hiked a long way out with dark falling before I finished.

My second day backpacking the South Egan Range Wilderness, I climbed up the high point in the morning. That's Adams benchmark. Then I got back to Ninemile Canyon for water, then traveled down to Sheep Pass Canyon and found camp on a small branch.

A little exploration of the of the mountain bike oriented trails around the edge of Ward Mountain. They are gentle climbs as is typical, but they get places while doing it, which is quite nice. I tagged an extra minor peak at the high point, too. Got even more views that way.

Second day of my quick overnight was a bit more time on the ridge until I was, well, done with the ridge, then down into the larger South Fork of Timber Creek.
