Trinity Alps
$22.00
A range of granite peaks and alpine lakes in northwestern California, part of the older Klamath Mountains rather than the Sierra. Thompson Peak rises to roughly 9,000 feet at the center. The 525,000-acre Trinity Alps Wilderness was set aside in 1984 and is one of the largest wilderness areas in the state, threaded with trout-water streams, glacier-carved cirques, and lakes named for their colour: Sapphire, Emerald, Mirror. Anyone driving Highway 3 between Weaverville and Yreka catches the peaks from a long way off; most people pass through and keep going.
