About Denny
Denny refers to two small settlements named Denny in northwestern Trinity County, California, United States: one in the upper New River watershed within the Trinity Alps Wilderness Area and the other twenty miles downstream along a one-way county roadway. Terrain in the area is extremely steep and rugged.
This is a site record: what public sources say about Denny, gathered in one place. We haven't written a full guide yet, so history, current access and photos are still to come. Treat the status as unknown until a guide confirms it.
