Salvation Along The Trinity

Just when all hope of seeing fall color appeared to have washed away, following this week’s rain, Shasta Cascade color spotter Gabriel Leete found salvation along the Trinity River.

He was driving on State Route 299, which runs from Redding to the coast, when storm clouds lifted to reveal vibrant fall color amidst wispy tendrels of moisture. Then a brilliant sunset closed the day as he crossed Oregon Mountain Summit (2,910′).
