After the restful day 4, day 5 backpacking South Fork Trinity River Trail was extra long to finish. I ended up making it even longer by exploring an alternate route option above Murphy Place instead of below.

Day 2 backpacking South Fork was actually spent on Smoky Creek where the Bigfoot Trail climbs away from the river. I hiked up to the trailhead, getting in some views, before returning to the river.

With my backpack packed for 5 days, I headed out to explore the bits and pieces of South Fork Trinity River accessible from the National Recreation Trail. I also wanted to hike the bits of the Bigfoot Trail in the area. First day was lots of miles generally high above that river with a few chunky creek crossings.
