tlie south, and Indian Creek from the north. It is a rough, 

 mountainous country, portions of it being very difficult to travel. 



Yreka is the principal starting-point and is also the Forest 

 headquarters. It is on a branch railroad which leaves the 

 Southern Pacific at Montague. There are roads down the main 

 river to 15 miles below Happy Camp, down Scott River to its 

 mouth, and down the Salmon below the Forks of Salmon. From 

 the west side of the Forest can be entered by a road up the 

 Klamath from Humboldt County. Much of the Forest is inac- 

 cessible, except by pack outfits. 



Fish and game are plentiful and camp sites are numerous. 



The Forest contains 12,485,162,000 feet of merchantable tim- 

 ber, consisting mainly of yellow pine and Douglas fir. It pro- 

 vides forage every year for 9,750 head of cattle and horses, 

 16,000 head of sheep and goats, and 900 hogs. 



TRINITY NATIONAL FOREST. 



The Trinity National Forest is situated chiefly in Trinity 

 County and is drained by Trinity River, the largest tributary of 

 the Klamath. It has an area of 1,746,519 acres. 



Its principal town is Weaverville, which is also the Forest 

 headquarters. Weaverville is 50 miles by stage from Redding 

 on the Southern Pacific. The Forest is crossed east and west 

 by the Red Bluff -Eureka State Highway, and there are roads 

 north and west from Weaverville. Many of the more interest- 

 ing portions of the Forest are accessible only by pack animals. 



Hunting and fishing are excellent in nearly all portions of the 

 Forest. 



The Forest contains 11,369,244,000 feet of timber, chiefly yel- 

 low pine and Douglas fir. The annual growth of forage is suffi- 

 cient for 13,000 cattle and horses, 25,000 head of sheep and 

 goats, and 600 hogs, which graze under permit.
