Bridge over dry underground river bed

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Headwaters Trail

Highlight • Trail

The Headwaters Trail is a really nice - and even more scenic - alternative to the PCT along this stretch: It follows Burney Creek and you will find two different locations with nicely shaded benches.

Tip by

14.5 km

The one way trip to the spring is a quarter mile down an unmaintainted dirt road. If you are not completely out of water, continue for 2.5 miles (northbound) to a campground with a spigot that provides potable water.
