South Yuba from Edwards

With the possibility of rain, 10 hikers hiked down river along the steep embankments of the Yuba. The iron rocks, fresh ferns, and deep blue as well as lighter green water of the river was a welcome sight in the flat light. Tiana, Grace, Marilyn S., Laurie, Kim and her renter, John, Frank and Ellen, and John and Elly ate lunch at the end of the trail that goes down to the river from the main trail. As you can see, we went almost 6 miles with an awful lot of serious up and down. (Frank took most of the pictures.)

Next week Kim suggested Sugar Pine Reservoir Loop near Iowa Hill with access from Colfax. Iowa Hill is an historic mining town with no electricity.
