Lower South Fork River Trail

Trinity National Forest. Found some glorious exploration spots on the gravel bars of South Fork Trinity River coming via this trail.

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.

South Fork: Circling Murphy

Trinity National Forest. One last day backpacking along the Trinity River National Recreation Trail, but on a whim other trails were tried.

Day 3 backpacking the South Fork Trinity River Trail, I finished it off finding out that it does actually start with a ford of the East Fork South Fork Trinity River at the far end.
