When and Where to Go

The relatively low elevations in Whiskeytown NRA and Castle Crags State Park provide fine early- and late-season hiking opportunities. In fact, many of those trails could be hiked year-round, depending on weather conditions. Most trails in the Trinity Alps and Russian Wilderness are open by late June in all years except those with inordinately heavy snowfall, and usually remain open until sometime in October or early November. At the beginning of each trip description is a “Season” listing, which may be slightly different from this generalization; there are usually good reasons for any discrepancies. For instance, some high-elevation passes and north-facing slopes shed their snow later than lower passes and south-facing slopes. Fords of swollen streams may not be safe at the same time every year as well. Since no two years are alike, you should always exercise good judgment and acquire all the relevant information about an area when planning your visit.
