TRINITY COUNTY, California. Trinity County is about remote mountain forests, river canyons, wilderness and historic small-town culture. This California58 guide introduces destinations that show the region’s culture, landscape and community life rather than recycling the same statewide list.

Editorial selection: these attractions have not yet been ranked by California58 voters. No advertiser can buy a place or influence readers’ votes. Double-check admission, accessibility, safety and operating schedules.
