Mill Creek Lakes Loop

Mill Creek Lakes Loop is an easy, 0.73-mile out-and-back hike in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, part of the Lower Trinity Ranger District of Six Rivers National Forest in northern California. The trail rises about 110 feet from 5,257 feet to 5,387 feet, and it is open year-round. The route sits on natural surface and is open to horses. Bikes are not allowed. The trail lies within designated wilderness, so it falls under the Forest Service's wilderness management rules. The climb is gentle, and the loop works well as a short outing for anyone exploring the area on foot or horseback. The nearby Red Cap Hole hike is about 0.9 miles away, and Long Prairie and Crogan Hole are each about 1.1 miles off. Paddlers can reach Domingo Creek about 1.7 miles from the trail.
