The Flumes

On the 4th, I was in Chico and me and a few friends decided to go to a swimming hole in Paradise called the Flumes. On the way there we hiked along a flume, which was used for the transport of logs down the mountain. We ended up at a hole, which is two main cliffs, one called "The Face" (45-50ft depending on the water level), and the other "The Nose", a good 10ft taller. I only took a few pictures, but here is what I came out with. Enjoy

The flume, going from metal catwalks to a nice little lazy river. The catwalk can get up to hundreds of feet above the river if you keep hiking farther. Further down there is a tunnel going through the mountain about 200ft long, completely pitch black.

The Feather River. To the right is the spot, I should have taken a panorama or something.

Chris Newton front flipping off the face, a good 45ft down. He also gainered this, but I didnt get it.

On the way back
