Trail Overview

The Dill Scenic Trail is an out and back at Shasta National Forest in California. There are great views of Mount Shasta as well as the surrounding mountains. This trail is not difficult by any means, but some higher ground clearance and good tires will go a long way. The trail starts out extremely dusty with some ruts and becomes rocky in the second half. There are several places to camp along the trail. A ground tent would work at the top, however, a roof top tent would be more enjoyable with the slope and rocks. Cell service is spotty so be sure to download offline maps.

Beautiful and was the closest I’ve ever been to Mt. Shasta. Most of it is a dirt road, there was a rocky section, after that the last mile was snowed out to about a foot. I didn’t have too much of an issue finding traction but lockers were required. Air down!
