I think both of these photos have been up as Photo of the Day back during the early days of that on-going project, so I am not posting them as Photos of the day for today...

Just a couple of quick notes on this National Recreation Area.  It was designated by Congress in 1990 and is managed by the United States Forest Service (Six Rivers National Forest).  We camped there between the Oregon Caves and the Redwoods in 2012, but did very little exploring in the Recreation Area itself.

Wikipedia says that this "area is considered one of the best fishing regions in the U.S."
