| SubalpineSam | Great Page | |
Hasn't voted | Hey! My buddy and I were thinking about where to go for our annual spring hike, and I threw out the idea of Ishi. Seems like a hell of a long drive from Portland, OR, but after reading your fantastic page and sending my buddy the link, we were instantly sold. Thanks for taking the time to be so thorough! | |

| Catman | Ishi trails NOT maintained | |
Hasn't voted | We have been hiking Ishi for the past 4 years, it has some super rock formations and canyons. But we have noticed that the trails have not been maintained and are slowly disappearing. This year we dropped a car off at mill creek and drove down to deer creek with the intent to take the maintained trails (as indicated in red on the map we bought from the forest service). As per the map we went in at deer creek hiked to the Deep hole tie trail from there climbed 1,200 ft out of the canyon where we hit the Moak trail, we followed the Moak along the ridge to a trail called 2E07 which was suppose to take us to the Lassen trail. Well as per the forest service map and our several GPS units we reached the area where the supposed 2E07 trail was to split from the Moak! Guess what the Moak trail disappeared into 4 to 6 ft high buck brush and the 2E07 trail was No where to be found. By this time it was 3:30 in the after noon so we set up camp on the ridge and searched the brush for 3 hours there is no sign of any trail. We spent the night and decided to turn around and go back out the 7 miles we came in. We got to the car and headed back towards mill creek. We stopped at the Moak trail head and found the sign board with nothing on it, we walked the trail approx. 50 ft. where it disappeared into the buck brush.(Humm maintained trail) We continued to the Lassen trail head and looked at the sign board which has the same map we bought from the forest service and that 2E07 trail was shown as a proposed trail. So the forest service is selling a map that shows maintained trails in (Red) and there map on the lassen sign board says proposed!! Also trees that have fallen on both the deer creek and mill creek trails are still there after 3 years so we had to break trail around this. I have been trying to find out what rules are as to maintaining these trails? Something seems very wrong as it takes several years for buck brush to grow 4 to 6 ft, high. Although Ishi has some spectacular views and rock formations its not going to be seen by anyone if something doesn't start happening to the trails. We would like to here from other hikers regarding there views on the condition of the trails. Burney Backpackers | |

| Catman | Re: Trails In the Ishi | |
Hasn't voted | Well after posting our groups input to non maintained trails I contacted the Lassen and asked when they last were maintained and what was the trail maintaince schedule. the reply was just as you said. However the trails from mill creek into papas place and on the deer creek side going west have not maintained in serveral years. the Moak and the 2E07 have not been maintained for almost 20 years. I was told they have put in for funding if they don't get it then there will be trails shut down and taken off the maps. So the bottom line is just like everything else is these trails will be shut down. As A side note the Lassen use to be known for completing there projects but that has changed, they are now known for not being able to get most all there projects never done and/or completed. | |
