Indian Canyon

This hike is on the PCT, and is 10 miles RT with about 1500’ gain. However, you CAN do as much as 18 all the way to North Fork, if you’d like. Richard will be taking you 10 miles. You will be making an uphill climb from Indian Canyon http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/2/d/e/event_77933982.jpegtowards the North Fork Trail head. It will be all downhill coming back to Indian Canyon.http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/2/8/event_78060552.jpeg

Bring at least 2 liters of water, lunch, snacks, camera, and poles will be very helpful on this hike. You will also need an Adventure Pass (available at any sports store or Ranger Station. It is $5 for a day pass and $30 for an annual pass. This is part of the Station Fire Burn Area, so you will see lots of fire followers, especially bush poppies, and enjoy seeing the forest recovery.

Meet at 8:00 for an 8:15 departure on the trail.

Directions: To get there, take the SR-14 to the Soledad Canyon http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/f/6/2/event_89800802.jpegRoad off ramp (after Sand Canyon). Exit. Turn right on Soledad Canyon Road 7.4 miles until you reach Indian http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/1/9/2/event_89801362.jpegCanyon, on your right. Park here. (There is a Forest Service Sign, a PCT crossing, a parking lot which is slightly up the hill, and a bathroom. Look carefully for the sign and the dirt driveway.
