Hey, look! Actually got to the popular bit of the Trinity Alps Wilderness! Er, at a time when it's still really easy to get a parking space, even on the weekend.

One road open, one not, but getting to these seasonal ponds was a mix of #hike and thrash with a surprising number of violets found along the way.

This loop may include Jeep trails, but it can only be completed on foot. I explored some ridges and met Mad River Rock. New blog post: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/06/mad-river-rock-and-devils-backbone.html

A little loop of trail featuring many lake views and plenty of benches to stop and take it in. New blog post: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/06/fir-cove-nature-trail.html
