The best hike in the Park?
Yes, if you like a huge climb to a spectacular mountaintop
that still isn't the biggest mountain. The view from
Brokeoff may be better than that from Lassen Peak, since you
can't actually see Lassen Peak very well when you are on it.
For a peak climb, this hike
does particularly well with water features. Brokeoff
Creek is near the trail up to its origin springs halfway up
the mountain. Brokeoff Springs have fresh and
delicious water.
This is the biggest elevation
gain of any of our hikes, but the trail is well-graded and
maintained. The view from the top is splendid and
far-ranging. |
