Description

The Trinity Heritage Scenic Byway climbs over 4,500 feet, following the path of Gold Rush miners and settlers. The scenic views of this historic and forested expanse are one-of-a-kind, with the Trinity Alps in the foreground and a rich cultural history in the background.

The Trinity Heritage Scenic Byway begins on HWY 3 in Weaverville, 103 miles east of Eureka. The byway leaves the highway and follows a loop to Lewiston and back around to HWY 3. Follow HWY 3 past Trinity Center and Coffee Creek until it splits. Follow signs to Edgewood. The byway ends at Edgewood and the junction with I-5.

The peaks of the Trinity Alps Mountain Range are Jagged and Picturesque, great for adept photographers and hikers. There are also many bodies of water to enjoy a day of fishing on or to mirror the snowy peaks for a timeless photograph. Try Trinity and Lewiston Lakes for some of the best fishing and relaxation this drive can provide.
