Backpack The Siskiyous

Join us for a weekend backpacking trip into the Siskiyou Wilderness to Devil's Punchbowl. We'll hike through forested trails to a beautiful alpine lake surrounded by rocky cliffs and spend the night camping in the backcountry. This is a great trip for anyone looking to experience one of Northern California's unique wilderness areas.

Trail Details: This approximately 9-mile out-and-back backpacking trip includes big elevation gain as we hike to our backcountry campsite near Devil's Punchbowl. Along the way, we'll enjoy forested trails, creek crossings, and opportunities to spot local wildlife.

Please Note:

Don't let the mileage fool you, this trip includes significant elevation gain as we make our way to the lake. Backpacking is physically demanding, and it is very important to train ahead of time. We strongly encourage participants to build their endurance through regular hiking, walking, or other cardio exercise before the trip to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Program Fee Includes: The program fee includes professional guides with wilderness medical training, round-trip transportation, wilderness permits, four prepared meals (2 dinners and 2 breakfasts), and essential backpacking equipment including a backpack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, trekking poles, and other group gear.

Keep an eye out for an informational email about two weeks before your trip. It will include important trip details, what to expect, and instructions for picking up your provided gear. This gives you plenty of time to stop by the Outdoor Adventures office during business hours, get fitted for any equipment you need, and ask any questions before your adventure.
