Epic view of Shasta and Mcloughlin. Trailhead is poorly marked but fine if you know where you're headed. Long day of post holing and knee bashing, but it was great!
Started the morning at about 4:00 AM just over 10,000 ft on the Hotlum-Wintun Ridge on Mount Shasta while on a solo trip. Was up Shasta before 8:00 and had plenty of daylight left by the time I'd packed up and made it back to Brewer Creek TH. Drove over and hiked up Goosenest, it felt a little more strenuous given the morning's activities.
My son, dog (Mac / Yellow lab) and I hiked up the 'Bob Rath Road' trail and glad we did. The trail was loose but a great Shasta & Herd Peak view the entire route.

Juan, Luis, Lab Dylan, Kelpie Marley, and I had a fun hike to the top on a clear day. Great views and saw no other vehicles once we left HWY 97. A few snow patches for the dogs to cool off in inside the crater.
