Spruce, Madroba, Tan Bark Oak, Alder. The cedars appear to be lacking to a great degree. Sugar Bowl Ranch & its wealthy is the only break in the scenery. It is situated 2-3 miles outside a huge bend in the river & is visible only as about 50 acres of "river bottom" land. Hoopa Valley - Center of Hoopa Indian Reservation is about 5-6 miles long & a mile or two wide. Dan the south eastern end is a grove of Sugar Pine & some other trees are scattered about. Road out of the valley is thru the Trinity River Gorge & is under construction - consequently is rough & barely passable. White Pine is 18 miles ± from Hoopa & is situated at junction of the Trinity & Klamath Rivers. The muddy Trinity enters a slightly less muddy Klamath & the water continues to the sea. Indians at White Pine say that salmon run up both rivers
