Overnight Backpacking: Mt Pacifico Campground. 6 miles via PCT.

To participate in this event please join the waitlist.
Please note that we flag all no shows, including day of event cancellations.

We are cross posting this event from another meetup backpacking group.

We’ve done this popular overnighter at this FREE campground several times before, on foot, by bike, by car, and we’re doing it again!

From Mill Creek we’ll hike the PCT, 6 miles up to the campground. This is the ‘backside’ of the San Gabriel Mts.
Once we reach the top the entire Antelope Valley lies 4,000’ below us.
The night time views from the campground of the desert floor below and the sunsets are just spectacular!

We will meet at the PCT trailhead at Mill Creek Picnic Area at 0800 and hike the PCT 6 miles up to Mt Pacifico Campground, elevation 7,100’, and camp overnight.
This is a 12 mile, out and back trip.
Elevation gain is roughly 2,500’ from Mill Creek to Mt Pacifico Campground.

PLEASE BE ON TIME. If you arrive a few minutes late and don’t see any one of us, that means we’re already on the trail. We’ll see you at the campground.

>>>NO WATER AT THE CAMPGROUND!
Some members will be car camping and have volunteered to bring plenty of extra water for us, therefore, no need to carry extra water.

The campground has picnic tables, fire pits, and vault toilets.
There’s plenty of firewood up there for the campfire.

>>>ADVENTURE PASS REQUIRED TO PARK AT THE TRAILHEAD!<<<
