Donner Peak, Mt. Judah, and Roller Pass Hike

Please change your RSVP to "not going" if you change your mind about coming.

We tend to keep moving and often spread out during hikes, so I prefer smaller groups so that I can keep track of how many are behind me. I will stop periodically to regroup if I haven't seen the people behind me for a while, especially at intersections and any place people might get lost. People who get ahead of me should do the same.

Go here for the Ten Essentials. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Essentials) Not everyone brings all ten for every hike, but everyone should at least bring extra water, extra food, extra clothing, and a head lamp or flashlight on every hike.

No facilities at the trailhead.

The hike is about six miles round trip and about 1300 feet elevation with some rocky trails along the way and a short off-trail ascent to Donner Peak.

Driving to the PCT trailhead
(https://maps.app.goo.gl/7xQfD3A4qk4LhZQ48). I will be stopping at Wendy's on Antelope Road to pick up a couple of friends. From I-80 take exit 174 to Donner Pass Rd., Old Highway 40, to Sugar Bowl Rd. opposite Donner Ski Ranch. On Sugar Bowl Rd., take the first left on to Old Donner Pass Rd. and go to the parking area. The trailhead is up 100 yards or so where the road makes a sharp bend.
