Battle Canyon is a hard hike in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, part of the Weaverville Ranger District of Shasta-Trinity National Forest in northern California. The route is an out-and-back that climbs from about 5,970 feet to 7,503 feet, a total gain of 1,851 feet over 7.2 miles. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is natural-surfaced and open year-round. Horses are allowed, but bikes are not. That makes it a route for hikers and riders on foot or horseback, not for cyclists. The climb is a steady one, and the high point sits well above the low point. The surrounding wilderness adds to the sense of being deep in the backcountry. Lion Lake is about 1.9 miles away, and Sugar Pine Lake is about 2.6 miles away. Goldfield Campground is about 3.4 miles away, and the Trinity Alps climbing area is about 8.5 miles away.
