Brewer Creek Trail

Overview

From the parking area, the dusty path winds through the forest, slowly gaining elevation. Enter the Mt. Shasta Wilderness at mile 0.1; about a mile later, views begin to open up through the pines. The views continue to become less peek-a-boo and more spectacular over the next 0.75 miles until the trail crosses the rocky course of Brewer Creek 1.75 miles from the parking area.<br><br>Although the official trail ends at Brewer Creek - a seasonal stream that may or may not have water in it - the path turns right to ascend toward Mt. Shasta's cone. From here, the route is unmaintained, and you'll be navigating over uneven terrain. Continue upward for another 2 or so miles to enjoy ever more spectacular views of Mt. Shasta and the surrounding country, even scrambling up to "Butte 9000" as a destination on your hike.
