Meting time and place
We usually meet the morning of our trip at 9am right by the river. Our trip ends around 4pm.

Driving north on I-5, take the first Yreka exit. Turn left and take Hwy. 3 to Fort Jones. Drive through the town and take a right by Ray's Supermarket onto the Scott River Road. The put-in is about 17 miles, just after the road crosses the river. The access is on the right, just below the bridge. If you get to Bridge Flat campground, you have gone just a little too far.
Look for our red Ford van, we'll be waiting for you.

Allow about 1 1/2 to 2 hours driving time from Mt Shasta, 2 1/2 to 3 hours from Redding.
