The county of Trinity is renowned for its most spectacular mountain wilderness, the Trinity Alps, consisting of crystal clear alpine lakes, forests, and rivers.

Trinity River is one of Northern California’s most scenic rivers. It offers great year-round fishing opportunities. Glampers can try their hand at snatching up some steelhead, salmon, and German brown fish. With over 260 species, this area is a bird watcher’s paradise. While sipping on a steamy cup of coffee, first thing in the morning from the comfort of the deck, glampers may spot bald eagles, blue heron, merganser, stellar jays, turkey vultures, sharp-shinned hawks, rufous hummingbirds, golden eagles, and more.

Guests should not miss out on the other fun activities to experience, including hunting, kayaking, and canoeing right at the heart of the river, to hiking and biking on the beautiful trails. Bringing a camera or mobile device with a good camera is a must for capturing some great action shots and picturesque scenery. Guests should make sure to visit the Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival during the summer months.
