Jackson Lake

Jackson Lake in the Wrightwood, CA was formed by the San Andreas fault. It is mostly fed by snow runoff from the mountains.

This is not an overnight trip and camping is not planned. Our goal is to package 1500 bags. Early finish means you could ski at Wrightwood if you so choose!! Mistletoe sales will be on Saturday and Sunday morning/afternoon during the weekends of second and third week of December. Scouts must volunteer.
