Hiking
Take water from the spigot at the Subway Cave parking lot, before you leave and ascend the rim. There will be two water sources if you hike northbound: Lost Creek in 8 miles (you have to descend into a canyon) and the mostly reliable Cache 22 at Forest Road 22 in another 8 miles. You donβt have to carry water for 30 miles!

Hiking
Strategic trailhead for a 30-mile section without water along the trail going north from Old Station. There are a couple of convenience stores, a gas station, post office, and campgrounds south of the junction of Hwy 44 along Hwy 89. The nearby visitor center and the Subway Cave that's a half-mile off trail are the last two water sources closest to the trail before it climbs up to the Hat Creek Rim and follows on its edge until descending some 20 miles later to continue crossing a waterless volcanic plain until finally reaching Hat Creek.
