The Trinity Alps Wilderness is an 537,357 acres (2,174.61 km²) designated wilderness located in northern California, roughly between Eureka and Redding. It is wholly administered by the U.S. Forest Service through the Shasta-Trinity, Klamath, and Six Rivers National Forests. The wilderness is located in the Salmon and Scott Mountains, subranges of the Klamath Mountains region. The high, granitic and ultramafic peaks of the eastern half of the wilderness area are known as the Trinity Alps. Granite peaks at the core of the area are known as the White Trinities, reddish ultramafic peaks in the southeast are known as the Red Trinities, and the forested mountains in the western half of the wilderness are known as the Green Trinities.
