Caribou Lakes Trinity Alps Wilderness backpacking | waterfalls in northern California

May 2021. CARIBOU MADNESS. I had an awesome surprise sighting on this trip. Don't miss it! This is a 2 day backpacking and hiking trip to the amazing Caribou Lakes in the Trinity Alps Wilderness in northern California, Klamath National Forest. Some very gorgeous lakes and a couple waterfalls as well! It was my 22nd wedding anniversary. My wife and I were in Red Bluff for the weekend at her mom’s house. We went out to lunch and then got some ice cream and went down to the river for a pleasant afternoon. In the evening I drove up north to the Trinity Alps Wilderness at the end of Coffee Creek Road.I had read horror stories about this road and they all turned out to be fairly accurate (much to my chagrin). It is a very rough road littered with sharp rocks for the entire length of it. I tried my best to avoid getting a flat tire on these rocks (I have had that happen before on a similar road). 20 miles of slow driving at about 20mph. You do the math. I finally reached the end of the road at the campground. I slept in my car at the trailhead. I slept in until 7:30! That is very late for me and a bit later than I wanted to sleep. Oh well, I guess I needed it. My plan was to hike up to Caribou Lakes and beyond. It did not exactly turn out that way. The trail is 9 miles long with 2000 ft. elevation gain. The grade is fairly gentle with no big steep sections. It is a steady climb the entire way. Nevertheless, it took a long time to hike up to the lakes and I was beat by the time I got there. I totally underestimated this hike. I had plans to continue past the lakes and down the other side. It did not matter anyway. There was still way too much snow on the other side and it was impassable. I knew there would be snow (and I brought my spikes) but it looked far too treacherous to attempt it. I did not have any energy to continue regardless. I camped at Snowslide Lake and had a very lovely evening. ====================================== Please like, share, and subscribe to my channel.
