Feather River National Scenic Byway

This 130-mile route travels east to west across Butte County, Plumas County and Lassen County on State Highway 70, following the north and middle forks of the Feather River. The total estimated driving time is about 3.5 hours, one-way.

Few California highways feature such natural beauty and diversity in terrain, landscape, wildlife and elevation as this one.

It also highlights mankind's feats of hydroelectric power, railroad and highway construction along the steep, rugged canyon walls.

The drive is particularly stunning in the spring, when vibrant green surrounds nearly 100 waterfalls, and in the fall the sheep mountain-sides are ablaze with orange and red oak trees.
