Description:
South
Fork of the American has worn a very deep canyon through this cap down
into the granite below. The road winds around the side of this canyon,
and here we had the most picturesque scenery of the route. Below us, a
thousand feet, dashed the river over granite rocks, the cliffs worn into
very fantastic shapes—old castles, towers, pillars, pinnacles—all were
there; while above, rugged rocky peaks, volcanic, of fantastic shapes,
rose a thousand feet more, fearfully steep, the snow lying in patches
here and there. From Up
and Down California by William Brewer, Book 4 Chapter 5
From Wikipedia: a 30-mile-long (50 km) river in California that runs from the Sierra Nevada mountain range to its confluence with the Sacramento River in downtown Sacramento. Via the Sacramento River, it is part of the San Francisco Bay watershed. This river is fed by the melting snowpack of the Sierra Nevada and its many headwaters and tributaries, including its North, Middle, and South Forks.
