Road trippin': State Route 3 through the Trinity Alps
It can blow one's mind to think about how all our state's roadways were created, especially our rural highways. Motoring down State Route 3 on a late-July weekday, CT News chronicled the straights, turns, curves, ups and downs of a highway that boasts outstanding scenery almost its entire 130-mile path. Faraway vistas, scenic small towns, majestic mountains cut by charming creeks and rivers, other beautiful bodies of waters and the potential for many wildlife sightings. State Route 3 is one of the North State's gems.
