A 2nd visit to the High Schells Wilderness, this one to the high point, the highest Schell. I made it a quick overnight trip, finding a tiny flat spot high on the ridge and out of the wind (at least for the evening) to spend the night.

Highest Schells: North Schell Peak

Humboldt National Forest. Packed and headed out for a quick overnight over the High Schells Wilderness high point to a spot perched on the ridge.

Day 2 of 3 #backpacking the Mount Moriah Wilderness was given over to bagging the namesake peak and then exploring The Table. The trail to the top certainly isn't as mapped. The mountain and plateau are covered in grand bristlecone pines.
