Landers Lake is a hard hike in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, part of the Weaverville Ranger District of Shasta-Trinity National Forest in northern California. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is an out-and-back of about 8.4 miles with a one-way climb of about 1,400 feet, from a low point of about 5,495 feet to a high of about 6,910 feet. The trail is on natural surface, and horses are allowed. Bikes are not. That makes it a good fit for riders on horseback or on foot, and a less practical choice for cyclists. Several other destinations sit close by. Sunrise Creek is about half a mile away, and the Landers Lake Spur Trail (9W09A) is about 1.4 miles off. For an overnight stay, Big Flat Campground is about 5 miles away, and Mary Smith Campground is about 6.4 miles away.
