Trinity Alps Wilderness - Canyon Creek Alpine Lakes Hike

Canyon Creek is one of the premier destinations of the Trinity Alps. The soaring, jagged granite peaks, icy cold lakes, meadows, old growth forests and fantastic waterfalls all combine to form a quintessential mountain wilderness. It comes as no surprise then, that this is the most popular trail in the Trinity Alps.
The second largest wilderness area in California, the Trinity Alps Wilderness nearly doubled in size by the 1984 California Wilderness Act. In that same year, it was added to the National Wilderness Preservation System. It currently has over 600 miles of trails and embraces over 500,000 acres of land.
