Courtright Reservoir is located in one of the most superb geological areas of California. Bare granite domes rise from the shores of Courthright Reservoir and above the deep canyon cut by Helms Creek located at the north end of the lake. Ice Age glaciers sculpted the mountain peaks, slopes and valleys giving them their unique present day shape. To the east Mt. Goddard rises majestically to 13,568 feet in elevation.

Courtright Reservoir is one of my favorite camping sites in the Sierra’s. The area is just remote enough that you can feel truly in the great outdoors.

The plan is to leave early on Friday September 10th. I really like to camp this time of year as there are little to no flys or mosquitos.

Campfire activities includes enjoying a few beers, roasting marsh mellows making Smore’s, telling ghost stories and tall tales.


Meeting place: Walmart Parking lot (Stevenson Ranch, CA)
