Mccash is a hard hike in the Marble Mountain Wilderness, part of the Ukonom Ranger District of Six Rivers National Forest in California. The trail is an out-and-back route of about 8.4 miles, with a one-way elevation gain of 1,550 feet, taking you from a low point of about 4,758 feet to a high of about 6,176 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is open year-round. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows horses, but bikes are not permitted. That makes it a route suited to riders on foot or on horseback rather than on wheels. Several other hikes sit close by. Torgerson is about 0.7 miles away and Half Moon about 0.8 miles. Round Meadow is roughly 1.3 miles off. For an overnight stay, Dillon Campground is about 8.8 miles away.
