Route Description for Pacific Crest Trail from Panther Creek
This trail connects Panther Creek Campground and the Pacific Crest Trail, making it mostly used by day hikers at the campground and thru-hikers reconnecting with the PCT. The trail features a scenic mossy forest and a solid set of switchback turns.
The trailhead for this connector isn’t very obvious and it’s not marked, so we recommend downloading your GPS track ahead of time to mitigate any challenges with navigation.
The trail begins from the west side of the campground. Head across Panther Creek and hop right into the nine wide switchback turns that take you through the bull of the elevation gain. Enjoy the mossy forest as you climb, eventually traversing a ridge to a three-way junction. This is where the trail ends, so either retrace your steps or keep going to wherever you’re headed.
