Shasta Trinity Trail - Fundraiser Benefit
Shasta Trinity Trail, known as Papoose Trail in Whiskeytown NRA (violet)
The Friends of Whiskeytown, Inc. has committed to raising $100,000 for construction of the Shasta Trinity Trail. This trail will connect the Sundial Bridge to the Trinity Alps via existing trails and the now under construction, Papoose Trail.
The Whiskeytown link, 5 miles in length, passes through the park, and will connect Redding to wilderness areas to the west. It will also connect the east and west sides of Whiskeytown NRA with one contiguous trail, through an old growth forest on Shasta Balley. A significant portion of the trail passes through an area which has never been logged, providing hikers with an out-of-the-ordinary experience at Whiskeytown
