The Trinity River is the longest tributary of the Klamath River, approximately long,〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed March 9, 2011〕 in northwestern California in the United States. It drains an area of the Coast Ranges, including the southern Klamath Mountains, northwest of the Sacramento Valley. Designated a National Wild and Scenic River, along most of its course the Trinity flows swiftly through tight canyons and mountain meadows. ==History== The original Hupa name for the Trinity River was the Hoopah River. It was also known as the Indian Scalp River when first crossed by the Jedediah Smith fur-trapper's party heading northwards up the coast on May 25, 1828. The river was noted on maps in that year as Smith's River. The name Trinity River was due to an error. When Pierson B. Reading came upon the river in 1845, he named it Trinity after Trinidad Bay, believing that the stream ended there. The Trinity River flooded massively in the Great Flood of 1862, wiping out the economy of the area. Jerry García's father drowned in the river. 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「Trinity River (California)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
