Please join us for the following field trips, which will be co-hosted by Shasta Chapter CNPS and Shasta Environmental Alliance.
Castle Crags Field Trip
Saturday, August 13, 8 AM
- This field trip will be a fairly easy, beautiful 3-mile walk in Castle Crags State Park. Some areas require good balance, so this is not a good outing for those with poor agility. After the walk ,we will traverse a swinging suspension bridge across the Sacramento River and, depending on the energy of the group, walk a distance along a nearby river trail.
Brokeoff Mountain Meadows Field Trip
Saturday, August 20, 8 AM
- For this field trip, we will hike about halfway up the Brokeoff Mountain Trail: about 4 miles round trip. This will be a moderate to difficult hike on a trail that goes through various mountain meadows where there are still blooming wildflowers. Much of the trail has an intermittent tree canopy, and it is a beautiful hike. This trail is quite uneven in parts and does require agility.
To reserve a field trip spot and for further information, email David Ledger at david@ecoshasta.org. Hot weather and/or smoke from wildfires may change our plans. Covid precautions will be taken: please bring your vaccination card and mask for those wishing to carpool. ~David Ledger
