The Trinity Alps
Product Description
A Hiking and Backpacking Guide.
Fourth Edition.
by Luther Linkhart and Mike White
California’s own Alps form a rugged, contorted divide between the Salmon, Scott and Trinity River drainages in the northwest part of the state, far from the crowds in the Sierra Nevada. Although not as high as the Sierra Nevada (the highest peak is 9002 feet), the Trinity Alps were just as heavily glaciated, and the glaciers left scores of beautiful lakes in pockets, cirques and rifts cut into a wide variety of rock types.
Road-bound visitors to the perimeter of the Trinity Alps Wilderness can see only the tips of glistening peaks on a distant horizon, but hikers can see it all.
This book tells hikers and backpackers how to get to the heart of the Trinity Alps, as well as to some little-known hideaways, in 34 trips varying from 3 miles to over 50 miles. Almost 100 photographs preview what the prospective visitor may see.
Inside this book you’ll find: descriptions of over 500 miles of trail and cross-country routes; accurate driving directions to all trailheads in the book; an expert’s rating of the fishing, lake by lake and stream by stream; and a map of the Trinity Alps and environs, showing all access roads and all described trails.
This new edition, published in May, 2006, includes detailed descriptions of the 34 hikes, directions to trailheads, and updated maps.
