The road to Little Mount Hoffman in CA isn’t an easy one

Little Mount Hoffman is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 2.231m (7,319ft) above the sea level, located in Siskiyou County, in the U.S. state of California.

Set high in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, the road to the summit is unpaved. From approximately October through May, there is no guarantee of access to the summit due to winter weather. 4x4 vehicle recommended. The last 4 miles are difficult for RVs and cars with trailers to navigate.

Tucked away in the northernmost part of the U.S. state of California, expect a trail pretty steep. Thunderstorm activity can quickly change unpaved roads to four-wheel-drive condition or make them impassable. The summit hosts a lookout tower built in the 1920's, perched on the rim of the largest volcano in the state. The lookout is still occasionally used by the Forest Service in times of extreme fire danger and offers spectacular views of Mt. Shasta.
