Feather Falls Oroville, CA USA
This is a 9 mile hike round trip. I am in average shape for a person in their 50's and I felt this hike. The last mile back was difficult. We took the longer trail there and the shorter but steeper path back. I like taking the longer one on the way to the falls, it is shady and the grade is less steep. This is a popular trail, I would go early in the morning and in the spring. April or early May would be nice months to go. The view is breathtaking and the trail is nice too.
The picture above and the picture below were taken on the outlook that extends over Feather River.
Directions : From Oroville take HWY 162, go about 10 miles to Forbestown Rd. Take Forbestown Rd.east. Go left onto Lumpkin Rd. About 8 miles later you will see Feather Falls parking lot. You might want to look for better directions.
