Aspen Butte Trail

The Aspen Butte Trail is a primitive trail that is neither marked nor maintained and is difficult to follow. For the adventurous traveler, the trail roughly follows the ridgeline up the western flanks of Aspen Butte to the site of a former lookout. From the lookout is a panoramic view of the wilderness below and the forested landscape to the south, with Mount Shasta in the distance. Only those skilled in non-trail orienteering should attempt this route. Please practice minimum trace visitation so that others may enjoy the view as well.
