Photos of our group camping trip to this state park, located just off I-5, about six miles south of Dunsmuir, CA. Lots of mosquitos around dusk - very annoying. But. . . REI's "Jungle Juice" with its 100% DEET eventually stopped the little critters. The hike to Castle Dome is purportedly 5.4 miles round trip, and is supposedly "easy." Maybe so, but we thought it was a bit more on the "moderately strenuous" side; very few switchbacks, fairly steep trail, lots of elevation gain. Hmmmm, maybe we ARE old buggers, after all! TAKE LOTS OF WATER, DON'T WEAR TENNIS SHOES!!!

The views of Mt. Shasta are awesome, as are the Crags themselves.
