Join Camp U’s epic 33-day Trinity Trek this summer. This Trek will be a chance for experienced backpackers to test their limits while traversing over 200 miles in the Trinity Alps Wilderness. The length of this adventure will allow us to visit many of the area’s hottest spots from sparkling Grizzly Lake to unforgettable Emerald Lake.
Trinity Trek (formerly called Walkabout) is a unique opportunity to gain confidence and skills in the wilderness with an amazing group of peers. We will work together to navigate with and without trails, learn flora and fauna, and carry everything we need on our backs. We will all work to keep each others spirits lifted as we hike up steep slopes and across rocky terrain. We will also enjoy swimming in gorgeous lakes, glissading down glaciers, making music inspired by lofty peaks, and lots of laughter!
The Trinity Trek route will traverse through some of the highest lakes, ridges and peaks in the Trinity Alps Wilderness. There will be views to enjoy, fires to cook over, and stars to wonder at. We will sweat, laugh and cry together throughout it all. There will be songs and stories and triumphs and failures to share. This journey will be challenging! But oh so rewarding.
