Forward ~ The Middle Fall on McCloud River. Back ~ Beautiful McArthur Burney Waterfalls. USFS: Shasta Trinity National Forest in California. Hiking Trails in the Mt Shasta - McCloud Area. The first time I saw the Upper Falls on the McCloud River, I saw them from this view. The next time we went back the forest service had made several improvements to the area. They are improvements, no matter how I might feel about the loss of this view, and I do think the lack of this view is a loss. So I share this photo with you, an old analog picture for which I don't even have the original anymore. | |
