Bidwell Park

Highlight • Gorge

A truly amazing canyon, easily accessible from Chico. In spring, it's a wildflower explosion. There are several trails. Long pants are a plus, as there are rattlesnakes. It's still worth it!!

The basalt rock through which the river flows has a special name: Lovejoy Basalt. It looks a bit like Krog from the Marvel Comics.
