Thru-Hiking

The following video documents the alternate I took to still visit this area, despite the fire closure. This hike turned out to be the adventure I was looking for, and in no way was I bummed to have detoured.

As with the Trinity Alps High Route proper, my alternate shared a few miles with The Siskiyou Peaks Trail.

For the Fall Equinox 2019, I was planning on hiking the Trinity Alps High Route, however, I arrived to the trailhead, finding it closed due to a wildfire. The following journal documents the alternate I took to still visit this area, known as the Trinity Alps.

Nothing like a little post-moisture contrast to really make the greens and browns pop.

Supper time! I spent most of my time this evening in my tent, avoiding the bugs.

Finally, a real river where we can swim, cool-off, and clean-up a little.
