Mullane Corral

Mullane Corral is a 5-mile out-and-back hike in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, part of the Big Bar Ranger District of Shasta-Trinity National Forest in northern California. The trail rises from about 3,100 feet to roughly 4,560 feet, a 1,400-foot gain, and is rated moderate. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is natural-surfaced and open year-round. The most comfortable stretch for a visit runs from late spring into early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Callahan, CA, show May highs around 73°F and September highs near 83°F, with July and August peaking near 90°F. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the ridge run cooler. Horses are allowed, and bikes are not. The trail makes a good base for exploring the surrounding area. Bake Oven Ridge Trail and Salmon Summit are both within about 3 miles, and the East Fork New River offers canoeing about 3 miles away. For an overnight stay, Hobo Gulch Campground is about 9 miles off.
