The Sacramento is California's largest river. Our class III run starts just a few miles below Mt Shasta. The pace is fast and there are rapids around every bend. The scenery is impressive: the river dances through a steep, lush canyon with cascading side streams and majestic views of Castle Crags and Mt Shasta. We'll learn about our magnificent watershed, flora, fauna, history and the geological forces forging the area. Meeting time and place We will meet the morning of our trip at 9.00 AM at the Sims river access, unless otherwise arranged. Traveling on I -5, take the SIMS exit, follow the road down to the river, cross the railroad tracks and turn right onto a small dirt road just before the bridge. Sims is about 30 minutes
south of Mt. Shasta, 45 minutes north of Redding, 4 hours
north of San Francisco. There are airports in Medford, OR and Redding,
CA, with rental cars available.

WHAT TO BRING Do not forget to pack an extra set of dry clothes and shoes for the ride home. Please travel light, but bring what you need to be warm and comfortable in any weather conditions. You will be getting wet! Wool or synthetic work best for cooler weather trips. Avoid cotton that dries slowly and has no insulating value. If you would like to purchase some of your own river gear, go to NRS Optional |
