From the trailhead we'll hike by Cabot, Carl, and Shirley Lakes before climbing a steep cinder cone to the summit for lunch. After lunch we'll return to our vehicles on the same trail.

Trip Report

Twelve people showed up on another beautiful warm day in July to hike up South Cinder Peak. The first two miles of the trail pass through the burn area of the 2003 B&B complex fire. Here the trail is surrounded by dense underbrush, blooming lupins, and many new pine trees coming in to replace this destroyed forest. After Cabot lake we entered the shade of the forest outside of the burn area. At 4 miles we passed the beautiful and popular Carl lake before ascending the ridge to intersect with the PCT. From the PCT it's only a short but steep hike up to the summit of this cinder cone where we all enjoyed our lunch and the views of the Cascades. We hiked out on the same trail however we took the time to stop at Carl lake so some of us could enjoy a very refreshing swim before heading back to our trailhead.
