Trinity Center, California
16 mi
/ 4265 ft gain
Nestled in the heights of the Trinity Alps, this hike to Alpine Lake is not for the faint of heart.
Before embarking on this adventure call the Weaverville Ranger station to check snow levels as well as the flow of the Stuart Fork River. If you are too early in the summer season the snowpack will be too low and the water crossing will be too dangerous. THERE IS NO BRIDGE TO CROSS.
