Salmon River |
California's Salmon River, comes surging out of the snow capped Trinity Alps and Marble Mountain Wilderness Area. It is one of the top ten white-water challenges of North America today, possibly in the top three. It features an exciting combination of luminous green pools that are frequently squeezed by craggy formations of glistening marble and granite bedrock, creating long explosive rapids, waves and enormous suck holes, intertwined with inconveniently placed boulders in this twisting canyon. Gold mining operations and gold miners, not of yesteryear, but today vigorously pursue the age-old riches still hidden here. Many different kinds of wildlife and waterfowl inhabitant this remote coniferous covered forest land.
