Mt Shasta - Hotlum side

Revised 10 Apr 2012 - please send updates to the webmaster

home See Driving Directions > Shasta and Lassen Area for context and how to get here.
info view GPS waypoints: simple Waypoint+ format, download GPX file, or overlay on interactive map.
This was submitted quite some time ago, and I've tried to pick off some map waypoints... but the numbers don't really add up. Please contact me if you have waypoints, a track log, or even a line drawn on a paper map.

Exit I-5 at Hwy 89 (waypoint 5JCT89, toward McCloud). Three miles east of McCloud (waypoint MCLOUD) take Pilgrim Creek Road (Forest Road 13) at a sign for Brewer Creek (waypoint 89FR13). Follow Pilgrim Creek Road, which is paved at first but turns into a dirt road, maybe 8-10 miles. Turn left (north) on Military Pass Road (Forest Road 19) at another sign (waypoint 13JMPR) and follow to just past Road 31 where you take a left at the sign for Brewers Creek Trailhead. Follow signs to trailhead or as far as you can get (maybe about 13 miles beyond 13JMPR).

North Gate will also provide access to the Hotlum Glacier via the Hotlum Bolam Ridge and might be a more direct line to the upper glacier

Nat. Forest Road 31 going past the Shasta Ski Park appears to be a more direct line, but is much (windier) and less maintained. Not recommended.
