The climb from Shadow Creek Campground to Carter Meadows Summit on Callahan-Cecilville Road in Northern California offers you a significant road biking challenge . Starting at around 3,000 feet, you'll climb approximately 3,150 feet to reach the summit at 6,146 feet. You can expect a steady and substantial ascent through the rugged Klamath Mountains. The scenery along this upper section of the climb is remote and beautiful, winding through dense forests with views of surrounding peaks and canyons as you work your way up to the summit, which sits along the Pacific Crest Trail. Be prepared for the sustained uphill effort and the solitude of this backcountry route.
