Road to Trinity is Open

Greetings all you hikers and campers that have been chomping at the bit to get out to your favorite hiking trails, the road is finally opened to the Trinity TH & Phelps Ck TH. Now that the road is opened that doesn't guarantee that you will be able to get to your favorite spots just yet, there is still lots of snow up at higher elevations above 6500'


The deer have been flooding in here for the last couple of weeks but they were about 2 weeks behind when they normally arrive but just like clockwork the hummingbirds showed with a vengence, the males have moved up higher and the females are back to build their nest and lay eggs.

This was an extremely weird winter not as cold as we would have liked and much wetter making things very difficult but we survived another one and looking forward to many more, too bad all of that rain wasn't snow or it would have been a record year...


It only took me 7 mo 6 days to get my truck in from the garage back to Trinity, the dogs are digging getting to ride in and out once again...

Get out and enjoy this beautiful weather and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds us everywhere here in the mountains...Peace

Mudslide Damage on Road to Trinity above Atkinson Flats

These photos are of the last narrow bridge heading to Trinity above Atkinson Flats, normally a dry ck until meltout happens but unfortunately this winter's rain changed all of that for us...
According to the FS road manager they might not get up there to look at it until after the end of June if then...
Both gates are still locked as of now but will keep ya'll updated on how the melt is going...

Memorial Day Meltout continues

Happy Memorial Day everyone, thought I would give an update on the meltout and road conditions for those of you aching to get out in the mountains.

The road to Trinity is closed at the first gate because of the snow still on the road and will be for at least another couple of weeks and then it will only be opened to Atkinson Flats, as the 2nd gate is also closed due to a sever mudslide at the narrow bridge just north of the 2nd gate which will require work before traffic is allowed on it, and we've been told it won't be until the end of June if it happens then.

I know this is not what many hikers and campers want to hear especially with the long delay in opening the roads. These photos were taken right around the houses and across the creek this morning to show just how much snow is still here. I'll do my best to keep ya'll informed as I know the changes to the road conditions. For any of you planning early trips up this direction you might want to rethink or reschedule your plans...



Get out and enjoy the day with friends and family...Peace
