    Tips

    Hiking

    Lost Creek runs underground deep inside the steep canyon until it emerges here from the heaps of giant boulders, instantly creating a lush green tunnel of shrubs. This is the only water source for the long 30 miles section of the PCT between Old Station and the Rock Spring or Powerstation 1 at Hat Creek. It is about 8 miles into the hike from Old Station, but it does require a descent of some 500 feet and usually costs an hour hiking down and up and to refill the bottles.

    Hiking

    This part of Section N is notorious for the long 30 miles without any direct water source along the trail between Old Station and the Rock Spring or Powerstation 1 at Hat Creek. There is, however, a water source at Lost Creek Canyon, about 8 miles into the hike from Old Station, but it does require a descent of some 500 feet.
