Granite Lake-Horseshoe Lake Loop Hike

Overview

The Trinity Alps is one of the priemier hiking areas in the galaxy. It's not as famous as the Sierras, but everyone should do a hike in this area at least once. There are large areas of alpine granite. The trails here are a little more rugged than typical Columbia Gorge or Cascades trails. There are many spectacular peaks and ridges and little alpine lakes. It is a long drive from Portland though, but at least it's not as far away as the Sierras. The Trinities have a fairly narrow spine of alpine granite compared to the Sierras, which are really incomparable.
