Publisher's Synopsis
What the Trinity Alps Wilderness lacks in size and notoriety, it more than makes up for in true backcountry beauty. Granite peaks, glacier-carved canyons, lush meadows, sparkling lakes and streams, and a chance for real wilderness solitude await hikers who find their way to the Trinity Alps. Whether you want an easy day hike or a challenging week-long trek, the more than fifty hikes described in the guidebook will include a suitable outing. You can explore the hundreds of miles of trails that crisscross the wilderness and the numerous drainages where trails--and humans--have yet to intrude.Northern California native Dennis Lewon is the founder of Packrats Wilderness Travel, a backpacking and wilderness education programs for youth. Lewon has written for Backpacker, Escape, and Islands magazines and has hiked trails from Glacier National Park to the Highlands of Scotland and volcanoes of the South Pacific.
