Old Highway 40 to Flora/Azalea Lake (and out to Donner Summit Sno-Park)
This backpacking trip is oriented to those that have never backpacked before but are interested in gaining experience in the outdoors and learning how to plan and prepare for backpacking trips in the future. Beginning at the trailhead at the side of historic Old Highway 40, this trip follows the Pacific Crest Trail for about 2.6 miles to Azalea Lake, where we’ll learn camp craft and the basics of cooking and preparing delicious backpacking meals. On day two, we’ll discuss the basics of orienteering with a map and compass before enjoying a brief 1.5 mile hike out to our pick up location at Donner Summit Sno-Park.
