Join a Park Ranger on a hike to Whiskeytown Falls on Saturday November 24, 2007 at 10:00 am. Visitors should meet at the James K. Carr Trailhead located 4 miles up Crystal Creek Road off of Highway 299 west. Parking is limited so consider carpooling. November is a wonderful time to hike in Whiskeytown. The falls should have plenty of water with the recent rain and there may still be a hint of fall color remaining. The 1.7 mile hike to Whiskeytown Falls is considered strenuous with several steep climbs, drop-offs and narrow footing. Sturdy hiking boots are highly recommended. Dress appropriately for the weather. Bring drinking water, snack and consider bringing a hat, gloves, camera, binoculars, and hiking stick. Rain will cancel the hike. For more information, call Carol Jandrall at 530 242-3438.

Did You Know the Canadian border at the summit of the Chikoot Pass  

Did You Know?
Many stampeders thought the Klondike Gold Fields were located in Alaska. Actually the gold placer deposits were in the Yukon Territory, in Canada.
