~10.4 miles
I had the chance to go for a trail run on the PCT and a side trip to Boccard Point in the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument and Soda Mountain Wilderness. This route is described in William Sullivan's 100 Hikes in Oregon Book.
I started from the Powerline Trailhead off Soda Mountain Road on the PCT southbound.
It was a cloudy day and I expected rain.
There was some trail in the forest.
I went off trail a little to Little Pilot Peak for a great view.
The view from Little Pilot Peak was awesome.

I left the PCT at a confusing junction and followed an old road to Boccard Point.

I could see Little Pilot Rock.

The base of Mount Shasta was visible but its summit was in the clouds.

I turned around and headed back the way I came. This was a great adventure on the PCT. The views were great! Excited to have had the chance to complete another short section of the PCT. I didn't have time but there is also a great view at Soda Mountain itself and there is a lookout tower there.
