Hossack is a 4.6-mile out-and-back hike in California's Sequoia National Forest, within the Western Divide Ranger District. The trail climbs about 660 feet from its low point at 7,825 feet to a high of 8,428 feet, and the Forest Service manages the land. It is a moderate route, and the trail surface is natural, with biking allowed. The hike works well as a day trip, and the trail is open year round. Jordan Lookout lies about a mile away, and Belknap and White River campgrounds are each roughly 2.3 miles off. Climbers can find Hermit Spires about 5.2 miles away.
