McCloud River Canyon
Shasta-Trinity National Forest California


The McCloud River Canyon is steep and V-shaped, with very few roads and lots of big trees. The only flat spot of any size is at Ah-Di-Na, an Indian campsite that became a fishing camp for wealthy families. It is now a public campground, and a mecca for serious fly fishermen.
