More than 10 miles of the Blue Creek Trail are open again thanks to a summer of collaboration between the Bigfoot Trail Alliance, Siskiyou Mountain Club, Six Rivers National Forest, seasonal crews, and volunteers. Together, crews removed hundreds of logs, cleared vegetation, repaired tread, and reconnected this remarkable trail.

Hiking the Bigfoot Trail in 2021
Whether you are hiking the whole trail or just section hiking the trail is ripe for exploration. Most thru-hikers will start in the Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel in mid-June and hike north. The advantage to this approach is that the snow in the higher mountains to the north will have time to melt off and river levels will drop so crossing them will be less dangerous. Another important consideration for hiking the Bigfoot Trail in 2021 is the trail’s yet unknown conditions after 2020 Slater and August Complex Fires. Please be safe out there!
