Product Description

Granite peaks, glacier-carved canyons, lush meadows, sparkling lakes and streams, and a chance for true mountain solitude await hikers and equestrians who find their way to the Trinity Alps Wilderness. Tucked away in a remote corner of northwest California, the Trinity Alps constitutes one of the largest parcels of federally designated wilderness in the state --more than half a million acres of rugged backcountry.

Hiking California's Trinity Alps Wilderness describes hundreds of miles of trails that crisscross the wilderness, covering everything from easy day hikes to week-long treks. Maps and elevation graphs make it easy to pick out a hike that suits your needs. Upwards of 100 sparkling alpine lakes dot the Trinity Alps, providing ample reward whether you're an angler in search of a trout dinner or a trail-dusty backpacker looking for a skin-tingling swim. History buffs will find mining relics that date from the 19th century Gold Rush, and anyone who cherishes solitude will have no problem finding it in this uncrowded wilderness

All this along with sections on backcountry safety, outdoor ethics and natural history make this guide a valuable resource for planning a trip to this spectacular wilderness.



From the Back Cover

Tucked away in a remote corner of northwest California, the Trinity Alps is more than half a million acres of rugged and uncrowded backcountry. Fifty routes from a writer who has been hiking in the Trinity for more than 20 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book about a great place!, January 19, 2003
By Anthony S. Alpert (Weaverville, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is really a great book and one of the best on the Trinity Alps. It is a different book from my favorite, the Trinity Alps book by Wayne Moss. Wayne's book is more of an encyclopedia, while this is a book for hikers. Wayne's book lists every lake and trail, while this book has 51 different journeys.

This book has the most photos of any of the Trinity Alps books. This can be a good thing, although I like to hike to a place and be surprised at what I find. Dennis is not a fisherman, so you won't find information on fishing the lake and streams of the Alps. The maps are great, as is the information on distances to the lakes.

As an example of what I like about the book, let's explore the trip to Canyon Creek, the most popular journey in the Trinity Alps. It's 6 pages long, includes a map with the surrounding areas, a photo of the Lower Falls, and a graph of key distances, including the McKay Camp, Lower Falls, Canyon Creek Meadows, Middle Falls, etc. That way you know at the Middle Falls you have 3 more miles to "L" Lake.

A great book and a fun read. Good job, Dennis!
