About Us

Welcome to the MCCT, a National Millennium trail of diverse and unparalleled beauty.

 

The Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail (also known as the MCCT or Coast to Crest Trail) is a non-motorized & multi-use trail bisecting California.  When complete, the trail will roughly follow the Mokelumne River from the river’s headwaters at the Sierra Crest to Martinez on the Carquinez Strait where the river meets the Bay. The trail is split up into five segments spread over six state counties.

Just under 50% of the MCCT is complete, with more trail coming online as our partner agencies complete and sign trail inside their management areas.

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.

The MCCT passes through many ecosystems representing both natural and developed Northern California ecosystems – the bay shoreline, East Bay foothills, Delta sloughs and wetlands, San Joaquin valley farmland, river valleys & canyons, Sierra foothills, forests of the Sierra Nevada, & the high country of the Sierra Nevada.

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.
