The rugged Trinity Alps spanning 517,500 acres provide a picturesque backdrop to the lake. Thousands of backpackers, hunters, day hikers and equestrians experience the breath-taking beauty of the alpine lakes, tumbling mountain streams, lofty canyons and jagged mountain ridges. Trails through virgin snow entice the cross-country skier in the winter.
The Trinity Alps are nestled in the rugged geographic area known as the Klamath Knot located between Redding and Eureka, California. Many exciting trailheads exist within this enormous wilderness area composed of three national forests and six-ranger districts.
