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.
