Mendocino Backcountry Discovery Trail - October 2021

Following are photos from OTG's Trail Run event earlier this month. It was a small group and we lucked out with weather, with relatively mild temps, especially at night. The group met at the historic downtown of Upper Lake and worked our way north. It was the final week of hunting season, so it seemed like every good campsite was taken. But low and behold, we lucked out snagging a nice knoll top site near Skunk Rock.

The second day we continued north, did the M1 loop up past Howard Lake and then worked our way back towards Anthony Peak via M2, did the whole Anthony Peak thing and finished the trip off by camping at Board Tree Campground. We didn't go out to Keller Lake and Cabin for the sake of time, and it's unclear if the cabin survived last year's fire. Stay tuned for the Video Route Guide coming sometime this Fall!
