The Lower Trinity Ranger District is a unit of Six Rivers National Forest in California, managed by the Forest Service. It is a district rather than a single trail or peak, so it works as a base for exploring the surrounding forest, with several campgrounds, paddling spots and climbing areas within a few miles. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cecilville show May highs around 75°F and October highs around 70°F, while July and August average in the mid-90s. Boise Creek campground is about 2 miles away, and Willow Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 3 miles off. The Glory Hole climbing area is roughly 5 miles away, and the Salyer Trail is about 4 miles from the district.
