Our staff will serve all food to families in order to avoid buffet style service and make sure that there is no opportunity for unsafe food handling and that social distancing guidelines are maintained throughout.

Getting There

The Mosquito Lake Basin (named by protective fisherfolk to deter unwanted visitors) is located at the end of a seven mile unpaved road in the Trinity Alps Wilderness in Northern California. Getting there, however, is as easy as driving to Scott Mountain Summit, located along Highway 3 outside of Callahan, CA. Fieldguides will meet participants at the summit between 2:00pm and 3:00pm on Friday, September 4 to help shuttle people and luggage to the base camp.
