The Bigfoot Trail is a U.S. long distance hiking trail in northern California.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】work=aldhawest.org ) 〕 The trail begins in the Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness and ends in Redwood National Park at the Pacific Ocean near Crescent City, California. A major focus along the trail is conifer diversity, passing 32 species in . The route crosses six wilderness areas, one National Park, and one State Park. Northwest California's Klamath Mountains foster one of the most diverse temperate coniferous forests on Earth〔Sawyer, J.O. (2004). "Conifers of the Klamath Mountains". Vegetation Ecology, Proceedings of the second conference on Klamath-Siskiyou ecology: 128–135, Cave Junction, OR: Siskiyou Field Institute〕 and this route is a celebration of that biodiversity. Of the 360 miles, approximately are along seldom used Forest Service roads while the remaining segments are backcountry trails, either in wilderness or on National Forest land. The Pacific Crest Trail briefly coincides with the Bigfoot Trail in the northern Marble Mountain Wilderness and north of Seiad Valley to the edge of the Red Buttes Wilderness. Due to the strenuous nature of the trail and the fact that some section have been un-maintained for many years it is not a trail that can be hiked quickly. Experience using map and compass as well as the ability to read the landscape are necessary for a successful thru-hike. The Bigfoot Trail was originally proposed by Michael Kauffmann in 2009 as a suggested route to navigate the Klamath Mountains from south to north as well as a long-trail to introduce nature lovers to the biodiversity of the Klamath Mountains region.〔 〕 == Route == The trail passes through these areas, listed south to north: *Mendocino National Forest :Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness *Shasta-Trinity National Forest :Trinity Alps Wilderness *Klamath National Forest :Russian Wilderness :Marble Mountain Wilderness :Red Buttes Wilderness :Siskiyou Wilderness *Six Rivers National Forest :Siskiyou Wilderness *Smith River National Recreation Area *Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park *Redwood National Park 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bigfoot Trail」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
