The Sacramento River is the lifeblood of California’s
Central Valley, and it starts here. Many people fill jugs of water from its
headwaters at the city park. I also tried some.
From the city, the river flows into Lake Siskiyou (which
I’ve run around), over the Box Canyon Dam (which I’ve toured), and then gets
bigger as Ney Springs and the Castle Lake outflow joins it. My first weekend here,
I rock-climbed on the Upper Sac. Here are photos from another spot:
Water is usually a secondary layer on maps: much less
emphasized than roads. Slowly I’m connecting the bodies of water around me.
