The Trinity Alps High Route

I dreamed of an Alps High Route while I explored the Trinty Alps, her lakes, ridges and trails during my first years experiencing this grand wilderness. My Alps High Route starts in Canyon Creek at Boulder Creek Lakes, and goes clockwise to Grizzly Lake, Mirror Lake, Smith Lake and ends in Canyon Creek. It took me 9 days, with 2 layover days the first time I hiked it. One week would be a good pace. This hike is for the cross country experienced hiker, since the route is full of difficult routes, riddles, canyons, cirques, hanging ledges, unknown encounters, and constant risks during this unique hiking adventure.
