We passed an old fire lookout position on the way out, so there was more peakbagging to be had before leaving Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness in Mendocino National Forest.

There were two more days of trail work. This time we worked up along the Minnie Lake Trail for one day and over to Solomon Peak Cutoff for the next. Both have challenging vanishing spots.

We had a rest day, or more accurately a free day, in the middle of the week. I headed out to tag the Bigfoot Trail before some peakbagging and got three takers for the escapade. We went up Sugarloaf Mountain, pondered Minnie Lake, then even more climbing to Solomon Peak.

Our first two days of trail work were along Summit Trail with a bit of rain and cold and wind on the first day. It was miserable but the second day was very pleasant.

Bigfoot Trail Alliance (BFTA) has many trail work trips going again this summer and at the very last minute, I got in on the one around the far side of Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness. We had a moderate hike in, a bigger hike on our "rest" day, and some working in there too.

Here's where it starts, that moderate hike in. Just head over here https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2026/06/last-camp-getting-there.html for more.

[3/3] The final day of our 3 day loop offered up a minor challenge to our return followed by a major challenge. Once surmounted, we were back to amazing high mountain walking on the side of Ray's Peak and further ridge walking back to the Hull Cabin site where we started.

[2/3] Day 2 of the 3 day loop was a long way down to cross the North Fork Trinity River, which one really shouldn't rely on doing in this season, especially with a heat wave on, but was easy this particular season. The first cabin of the day was before the crossing, the second along Grizzly Creek, and the third, well, what can you expect?

[1/3] Once more into the Trinity Alps Wilderness, this time to wander among many cabins. The 1st day of the 3 day loop started with flowers on the way to long sections of ridge walking. It featured many birds and burned areas to complete the day where a fire lookout once stood at the top of Cabin Peak. Except the day wasn't quite done because we did still need to get back to camp.

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!

[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

One last trip to finish off 2025. Headed up Mount Eddy, tallest peak of the coastal ranges, in the rather mild weather of early December. The first day was checking out all the Deadfall Lakes before selecting a camp site for the next two nights.

Day1: Short and easy up Stuart Fork to the ford.
