Six Rivers National Forest
The name says it all: Six Rivers National Forests is about water. Six rambunctious rivers flow through it: the Smith, Klamath, Trinity, Mad, Van Duzen, and Eel. And the mighty Pacific Ocean strongly affects its climate, moderating its temperature and sending daily misty fog when it's not sending rain and snow. The forest is next door to Redwood National Park, and has much the same lush character. However, while there is some coastal sequoia at Six Rivers, the dominant tree is Douglas fir. The Siskiyou Wilderness is Six River's wild highlight. The Siskiyou is a region of high craggy peaks, small glacial cirque lakes, and soft mountain meadows. The Clear Creek National Recreation Trail is a wonderful exploration into the heart of this wilderness, with lots of side trails if you want to get higher or even more remote. Read More »
