HIKE DESCRIPTION:
OUR DAY IS RATED “PE” FOR PRETTY EASY, and covers 5 miles with mild elevation gain.
You are bound to fall in love with the hike to Heart Lake. This pint-sized heart-shaped attraction in the Castle Crags Wilderness of Shasta-Trinity National Forest boasts views of Mount Shasta, Black Butte, and surrounding Klamath Mountains.
The hike to Heart Lake begins from a trailhead at Castle Lake, a larger mountain lake wrapped by pines and granite cliffs. For a two-lake trek, you can hike out and back between Castle Lake and Heart Lake for a two miler with 645 feet of elevation change.
We may add a third lake, Little Castle Lake, for a 2.9-mile outing. Little Castle Lake is less endearing than Heart Lake and adds a rather steep 260-foot descent and ascent to the itinerary.
