Not much of interest and the two places we camped were only marginally decent and pretty cramped. The good part is that there was no one else out there.

Simple trail. Did it in a stock Jeep rubicon. Most suv with clearance could make it. Didn’t need 4 wheel drive. Had two cool river crossings. It’s long. Took us 3.5 hours to get through it. We stopped a few times for views and exploring. For a great view of mt. Shasta and some awesome woods this trail is perfect.

Not a bad trail. Has great views of mount Shasta. Went through in a stock 2017 Jeep jku rubicon. Some pets had to go slow and get a spotter for the larger rocks. Nothing too crazy. Towards the last third of the trail the bushes really come into the trail. You will scratch your vehicle. If you’re not ready for that turn back once you see the bushes because it’s like that all the way to the end. It lost a star for this. The last half mile is unreachable. One of the reviews said it was washed out. Understatement lol. It looks like an old waterfall. Just large rocks and bushes straight up a 45 degree mountain. If you want to get to the top it’s best to just hike the last part unless you got a rock crawler and are willing to risk damage. It lost a star for this too. Other than that, it’s a chill trail with so many spots for camping and other side trails to explore the woods. Probably better used for that than to see the falls.

Easy short hike to horse camp hut, then continued towards hidden valley. Hidden valley was amazing with a great view of both Mt. Shasta and Shastina peaks. After leaving horse camp there were no water streams Nor much shade

7-3-20. This was a wonderful trip. We hiked into Grizzly Meadows. The larger campsites are on the right side of the creek as you approach the falls. It’s hard to see the campsites. Look signs of people crossing over. There are many but not obvious. There are campsites at the lake. That means you have to lug your gear up the step trail to the lake. Include time to hike one of the peaks, 3-5 hours. The lake was chilly but doable. Most of the snow from the mountains had melted. I’ve been told it is one of the nicest hikes in Trinity. The falls are beautiful.

It’s a trail old logging roads to a fire lookout. It is best to follow the roads as it is pretty overgrown in the former clearcuts. There’s a nice old look out up top. With nice momentos left from former lookouts. Now there is a fat squirrel that runs the show.

We started at a leisurely 4:30am. Skinned/ boot packed up to the summit. Skies down the west face and dropped a shoot ending up in avalanche gulch. Super fun
