Hiking
The Stuart Fork Trail follows the Stuart Fork Trinity River from its terminus at Trinity Lake to its headwaters at Emerald Lake. The first 10 of the 14 miles have a gradual incline as you follow the river to Morris Meadows. The final 4 miles up to Emerald and Sapphire Lakes are much steeper but still manageable. There are a number of water crossings along the way, so be prepared. For overnight spots, you'll find campsites at Morris Meadows and up by the lakes.
