A brand new adventure in Trinity County, along with a bit of history on old Highway 99.
There aren’t many places in California that haven’t been checked out by Sports Leisure Travelers over the years, but we think (with the help of Public Television’s Huell Howser) we’ve found one; the historic town of Weaverville,nestled in the Trinity Alps, along the river of the same name.
