Haskell Peak Trail
DESCRIPTION:
This isolated trail may not be worth driving to from big cities, but if you’re in the neighborhood and looking for scenic views, don’t pass it up. Some like it better than the awesome one from Sierra Buttes. Not to mention the shorter hike, and no crowds. Here you can enjoy your glass of wine to celebrate most likely all by yourselves. Even if it’s with your jug of water, toast the view of Mount Shasta, Lassen, Rose, Sierra Buttes and the delightful expanse of Sierra Valley at your feet.
