The Trinity is a beautiful clear-green tributary of the Klamath, which is the major watershed of Northern California. Often overlooked due to its relative remoteness, this river makes a great side trip of an exploration of California's coastal redwoods. Part of what makes the Trinity so special is that it has a run for everyone: from numerous tube friendly flat-water floats to the commonly run class III Pigeon Point section, to the creeky North Fork, and the rugged, remote, and challenging South Fork.

But the whitewater pride and joy of the Trinity is the Class V Burnt Ranch Gorge, a steep and stompy romp through a very narrow gorge. This run is favored by kayakers and rafters who enjoy running raft-width slots at what feels like terminal velocity.
