Sacramento River where it first comes out of the mountain.

Sacramento River at Dunsmuir maybe 20 miles from it's beginning.
Then passing by Castle Crags at Castella.
After probably 60 or 70 miles counting the twists and turns, Sacramento
River along with the other major ones I know of: McCloud River, Pit River,
and Squaw Creek, all mix together to make Shasta Lake.
On right taken from Shasta Caverns, left is Sacramento River coming
into Shasta Lake.

Sacramento River then coming out of Shasta Dam.
This Picture is the main focus of Sacramento River. The 3
Shastas.
Shasta Dam, Shasta Lake, and Mt. Shasta, where Sacramento
River started.
Sacramento River from Shasta Dam goes in to Keswick Lake and is joined
with water out of Trinity Lake, which goes into Lewiston Lake then into
Whiskeytown Lake then is pumped over the hill into Keswick Lake. Clear
Creek runs into Whiskeytown Lake, then again is Clear Creek when it comes
out of the lake and goes into Sacramento River. So Whiskeytown Lake
is part of Sacramento River.

This is Keswick Lake and Sacramento River when it comes out of
Keswick Dam.
This is at Redding where in Summer it is called Lake Redding.
Really when they put the dam up to fill the canal for water all
the
ACID Canal customers to water the valley.

Goes by Anderson filling ponds in the Park.
Ord-Bend Bridge when it was flooding, and just upriver close to
Jelly's Ferry.
We are now at Red Bluff where the Sacramento River becomes a Lake
at the Red Bluff Diversion Dam. Where the water now goes to water
more farmland in Tehama Co.
And from there Sacramento River just keeps growing. Going through
10 Counties touching lives, before going into the ocean under the Golden
Gate Bridge.
So if we notice, Sacramento River is like everything else, it isn't
one little river, it's a bunch all ran together. Picks up bits and
pieces along the way to make it what it is.
