They stop maintaining the trail at Little Castle Lake so we didn’t hike to Mt Bradley.

The area that now makes up the Marble Mountain Wilderness has been protected in one form or another since 1931. It gained its current statues in 1964 when the US Congress passed the Wilderness Act. The name "Marble Mountain" is due to the unique makeup of the light colored limestone run through with lines of black metamorphic rock, which gives some of the peaks a distinct marbled look.

Getting to the Caribou Lakes means climbing thousands of feet to a basin below Caribou Peak. Once you arrive you'll be treated to three good sized lakes and a number of small ponds, all surrounded by granite peaks. There is a campsite along the shore of Upper Caribou Lake as well, so you can make this an overnight journey if you wish.

This lake is smaller than Castle Lake and its waters aren't as clear, but with Mount Shasta peeking in the background the views from here are much prettier, and they get even better if you continue walking a bit further.

This stunning glacial lake is a popular destination for hiking, camping, and even fishing. From here you can climb up to Heart Lake and enjoy some amazing views of Mount Shasta or take Castle Lake Trail all the way to Mount Bradley.

You can get a better view of Mount Sashta if you continue a little further from Heart Lake, although you will need to scramble a little, so be cautious, a picture is not worth putting yourself at risk.

Enjoy easy access to Kangaroo Lake. Visitors may spend the day fishing for rainbow trout, hiking surrounding trails in the Kangaroo Lake Botanical Area, and viewing native wildlife. Exercise caution and ensure food is secured overnight, as Klamath National Forest is home to black bears. 18 first-come, first-serve sites are available at this beautiful campground.

Leave the PCT and follow the Seven Lakes Trail to pristine alpine lakes with Helen Lake as the closest from this location.
