Intentional Hike: Communing with nature on the Pacific Crest Trail

Details

Pacific Crest Trail Intentional Hike
Enjoy a spiritually oriented hike in spectacular natural beauty on the PCT! We will take time at the start and end for group meditation and pause in the middle to enjoy snacks (please bring your own) and commune with the water, trees, plants, and birds.

Trail: The Lake Angela Loop on the Pacific Crest and Donner Pass Trails presents spectacular views of Castle Peak and Donner lake from 7000+ feet. The trail passes four lovely small alpine lakes.

Conditions: The trail out is somewhat rugged and rocky with some up and down hills and switchbacks. The trail back is an easy dirt path. Please make sure this terrain and 5-mile distance is comfortable for you and your level of fitness. The hike will take about 4-5 hours including stops for scenic views along the way.

Distance: It's about a 5-mile hike.

Elevation Gain: 600 feet elevation gain

Difficulty: Moderate (2-3)

Time: Allow 4-5 hours for hiking, scenic views, meditation, and lunch.

Temperature: May range from the upper 60s to upper 80s.

Facilities: Ample paved parking and clean pit toilets at the trailhead.

Carpool: Hikers may make their own carpool arrangements if desired. The drive is about an hour from Roseville and Nevada City and a little less from Auburn.

Equipment to bring: One quart of drinking water. Snacks or lunch. One or two hiking poles. A hat and sunscreen. Good trail hiking shoes. A waterproof windbreaker as it sometimes sprinkles a bit in the high mountains even during summer.
