Caribou

The Caribou Trail is a 1.4-mile out-and-back trail located in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest area, given its proximity to this region in Northern California. The trail ascends steeply with an elevation gain of approximately 2,474 feet, reaching a maximum elevation of 2,280 meters. The path traverses a dirt surface, making it potentially challenging during wet conditions. Hikers can expect a moderate difficulty level due to the significant elevation change over a relatively short distance.
