With more than 500 miles of trails, the Trinity Alps Wilderness is a hiker’s and backpacker’s bonanza. Trips in this chapter run the gamut from forested walks to alpine heights and everything in between. With 34 described trips, the Trinity Alps makes up the bulk of this guide, including a fine sampling of both day hikes and multiday backpacks.

Backpackers are required to obtain a wilderness permit for any overnight stays within the Trinity Alps Wilderness, available by self-registration at ranger stations. In addition to hiking and backpacking, the vast area of federal land around the Trinity Alps Wilderness offers numerous activities. The Trinity River is a notable fishery for anglers in search of salmon and steelhead. River runners also covet the river, which offers up to Class IV and V rapids in Burnt Ranch Gorge. Plenty of developed national recreation area and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) campgrounds around the Alps’ perimeter provide excellent camping opportunities, while several resorts and inns offer more-luxurious overnight accommodations.
