| April 2004 | Caption: Butte Creek, Butte County - This rough, lava-rocky canyonland lays testament to the slow, steady power of moving water. An erosive force has hewn steep cliffs down to a narrow channel dotted with bushy outcroppings. In some spots, the stony ground relents, allowing snowmelt to escape, percolating through the lava as refreshing springs year-round. The creek water itself is cool and clear as it flows through the canyon. |  | |

| April 2004 | Caption: Eel River, Mendocino County - Dense groves of towering mixed conifer forests shelter black bear, deer, squirrels and a variety of bird species. Popular campgrounds and day-use access at Lake Pillsbury and the scenic confluence of Trout Creek provide outstanding fishing opportunities. |  | |
| April 2004 | Caption: Grouse Ridge, Nevada County - Groves of silver-tipped firs and numerous streams, such as Fall Creek, which wind and cascade through wooded corridors rushing into the Yuba River. This is an exquisite ridge, forested with picture-book Christmas trees. A magical place whose draw continues, recreation and trout fishing being the activity of our day. |  | |
| April 2004 | Caption: Hat Creek, Shasta County - The cold, clear water of this famous trout stream lures fly fishers worldwide. Slow moving and serene, it nurtures a full contingent of both rainbow and brown trout. Popular recreational and fishing areas like Crystal Lake, Baum Lake and Lake Britton are adjacent and easily accessible. Pure water flowing by graceful mountain pines has created a valuable habitat for osprey, eagles and blue heron, while herds of California mule deer roam nearby. |  | |
| April 2004 | Caption: Pit River, Shasta County near Fall River Mills - Here the River whispers and roars through a dramatic, deep-walled canyon. Flanking this breathtaking gorge are scattered timbers, brush and rolling grassland. The river runs white with many rapids, but also calms into pools and quiet backwaters. |  | |
