Iron Canyon

Sunday 30 July, 2023


To make the trip home a little more interesting, we stopped at the Sacramento River Bend Area to hike the Iron Canyon Trail to Jed Smith's Overlook.


We walked through this beautiful lava field. Photo by Eric.

Eric photographed me overlooking the river.


We could see Mt. Lassen to the east. Photo by Eric.


And also, looking north from the same part of the trail, Mt. Shasta. Photo by Eric.

We could see that the area was beautiful, but it was almost unbearably hot. We were grateful to return first to Mather's air conditioning, and then to the cool fog of the Bay Area.
