RSVPs open 2 weeks prior to event. We’ll follow the course of a regionally important ditch that once brought water to the early gold miners of the north Redding and Shasta Lake City areas. Starting near the Shasta Dam visitor parking lot, this trail stretches to the trailhead at the end of Walker Mine Road. Stop on any of the three bridges to enjoy the beautiful foliage. Take in the views of Shasta Dam, the Sacramento River, and Keswick Reservoir. See if you can find evidence of the conveyor belt that once supplied gravel form the Turtle Bay area of Redding to the construction site for Shasta Dam. (Hint: look for lots of rounded stream cobbles.)
This is an out and back hike. We plan to do an approximately 6 mile section - 3 out and 3 back! But you can do more or less! If we begin by 9:00 am, we should be back to the TH by noon.

Remember to bring water, sunscreen, snacks and appropriate layered clothing!!! Rain will cancel.
