The Feather River Scenic Byway

The Feather River Byway is packed with the scenic wonders of a deep river canyon, including thundering waterfalls, brilliant fall colors, and festive wildflowers. The natural beauty, combined with the man-made wonders of powerhouses, tunnels, and train tracks snaking along the canyon sides, make this one of the more breathtaking drives in California. We begin in the city of Oroville, where luxury hotels and a casino neighbor Lake Oroville and the largest earthen dam in the United States. Then we venture into the northern gold country and Plumas County, over the lowest pass in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Take a look below for more info on this tour!

Tips in this Tour:

	Use caution when using pullouts on SR 70 of the Feather River Scenic Byway, as there are no guardrails and there are extreme drop-offs.
	Also use caution when walking across Hwy. 70 to enjoy the views, since there are blind curves.
	Bring chains for winter travel - just in case.
	Dress for the seasons. This is high country and winter temps are low, summer temps are high. Fall days are comfortable but cool at night.
	A camera is a must to capture the scenic beauty year-round.
