Trillium Hiking about 3.5 miles on the Tin Cup Trail each person carries personal clothes, sleeping bag, and food, generally about 25 to 30 lbs. We arrive at our put-in, the confluence of Boulder Creek and the Chetco River and the west boundary of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness in the early afternoon.
Horses carry all but our personal gear.
Most people with general hiking experience will enjoy this trip which combines backpacking with paddling. An old growth forest borders the river whose course follows a delightful series of crystalline rapids, rushing from one deep section to the next. The clear green water is broken with boulder filled sections where your guides will assist your passage. This four day trip allows more time for development of paddling skills and an extended experience in the unique geological area which forms the Chetco drainage. Riding horses not provided on any of our trips.
