O1: PCT - Three Points to Cloudburst Summit Out and Back
Join us for a moderate (10.4 mile RT / 1800 ft gain/loss) hike along the Pacific Crest Trail. After meeting at the La Canada Rideshare at 8 am, we will caravan/carpool to the Three Points trailhead. (Note that there are pit toilets available at the trailhead.) From there, we will start hiking southbound on the Pacific Crest Trail, likely encountering thru-hikers along the way! At this point, northbound hikers have been on the trail for 400 miles and are hitting their stride (and are possibly on their second pair of shoes). A few miles in, we will pass Camp Glenwood and can pause for a brief snack break amongst the pines before continuing on to our lunch spot and turnaround point, Cloudburst Summit. The trail in this area has an overall moderate gradient and is extremely pleasant this time of year. After lunch, we will go back the way we came and should arrive back at the cars between 2 and 3pm. If you have always wanted to do a hike on the Pacific Crest Trail, this is a great one to start with!
