I made an attempt on the summit of Gibson Peak in the Trinity Alps during late November, but got turned back by dwindling daylight and the need to return home in order to prep for a day shift in 12 hours. All was not lost though...I made it high up onto the slopes of Gibson and had a chance to explore the granite slabs that made up its former glacial cirque. I also gained an awesome view of Mount Shasta, and a lofty perspective of Granite Lake. Warm dry late November weather is not helping the California drought, but it is appreciated by those like me who want a few more treks into the alpine zone.
