Trinity County, a Northern California gem, offers a unique blend of stunning scenery, adrenaline-pumping whitewater, and local folklore. Best known for world-class Trinity River rafting, this wild, scenic region is also home to one of the most unique hiking routes in the state: the Bigfoot Trail. Named for THE American Legend believed to inhabit these woods, the Bigfoot Trail meanders through some of California’s most secluded and stunning terrain. Whether you’re a fan of rafting, hiking, wildlife spotting, or simply reveling in the enigma of the mountains, this trail promises an unforgettable adventure. It begins in the heart of Bigfoot country.

What Is the Bigfoot Trail?

The Bigfoot Trail, a long-distance hiking route that stretches 360 miles through the Klamath Mountains of Northern California, offers diverse landscapes and ecosystems. Starting in the Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness and ending at the Pacific Ocean in Redwood National Park, the trail traverses six wilderness areas, one national park, and some of North America’s most biodiverse conifer forests.

But what truly sets this trail apart is its deep-rooted connection to local lore. Trinity County, the birthplace of Bigfoot Rafting, is a hotbed for Sasquatch sightings. Hikers on the Bigfoot Trail often traverse regions steeped in legend, where every broken twig might leave you pondering what’s lurking in the trees.
