McClure Trail Field Trip

McClure Trail Fieldtrip

Lassen National Forest

April 29, 2023 – 9 am

The McClure Trail is near the Ishi Wilderness area above Paynes Creek and hosts a diversity of plants closer to those commonly found in the Sierra Foothills south into Nevada County. This is a four-mile out-and-back moderate-difficulty trail that traverses different habitats, ending at a meadow at the North Fork of Antelope Creek. Expect to see many yellow star mariposa lilies, lupines, blue dicks, ookow, and scrub oak (Quercus berberidifolia). This is a unique area of different habitats and plants than we see in Redding. 

Meet at the Shasta Mall parking lot near Chase Bank at 9 am for carpooling/caravan. Bring plenty of water, lunch, and gas money for ride sharing. No dogs, please.
