Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail

The MCCT passes through major ecosystems common in Northern California – the bay shoreline, East Bay foothills, Delta sloughs and wetlands, San Joaquin valley farmland, Mokelumne River valleys & canyons, Sierra foothills also known as the Mother Lode, Sierra Nevada forest, & Sierra Nevada alpine.

Day hikes & multi-day trips are available in 2011 for trail users of all abilities. Segment guides for a complete segment trek are planned. There is no estimated completion date for the entire Mokelumne Coast to Crest trail, but we're working on that!

The MCCT is also one of twenty-seven official California State Parks trail corridors that form a statewide trail system linking mountain, valley and coastal communities to recreational, cultural and natural resources throughout the state.

A non-profit corporation called the Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail Council stewards the public input process, design, and maintenance of trail, in partnership with public and private organizations in the six-county cross-section of California between San Francisco and the Sierra Nevada.

The Trail Council is committed to:

Sustainable Funding

* reliable funding sources to support public consensus, design, trail operations, and trail maintenance

Trails Within Reach

* Connect land and people so visitors and residents can learn about, enjoy, and steward the natural areas where the trail passes through their communities
* Increase the trail’s internet presence to better guide users on how to get on the trail safely and how to have the best experience possible

Thriving Communities

* help communities along the trail meet economic and public health goals by conducting social media outreach and becoming actively involved in projects to reach these goals
