  Trinity Scenic Byway

  Trinity Scenic Byway travels along coastal plains, steep granite cliffs, and arid manzanita. This historic Native American route parallels the beautiful Trinity River. Named "From the Valley Oaks to the Redwood Coast" by the Forest Service, it implies the range of flora and fauna found along the route. A good time to visit is during the spring when the redbuds' purplish blossoms droop along the rushing waters and gray granite cliffs.
