This is maybe a mile downstream from the previous pictures www.ipernity.com/doc/289859/44673778 www.ipernity.com/doc/289859/44673774 and is just upstream of the confluence with Spanish Creek, said confluence marking the start of the East Branch of the North Fork of the Feather River (yes, that _is_ the official name! Really.) The leftmost insert shows the flow in Dec 2010, at a more normal level; the middle insert shows the flow during the drought, in Jan 2015, and the rightmost insert is a close-up of the spectacular rapid thru the rocks. The bedrock here is a hard, vertically foliated metamorphic rock that is almost at right angles to the current. The highway on the left is California State Route 89.
