Feather falls is a impressive waterfall close o Oroville north of Sacramento.   The fall is about half way on a nice 9 mile loop hike.  I visited the fall in Late July, and there is still plenty of water, but I would expect the fall to be even more impressive earlier in the season. There are other supposedly nice water falls close to Feather falls, and I had planned to visit Seven Falls as well, but the road leading there was closed down 4 miles before the fall, so I could not make it, and then it was too late to head for Curtain Falls.

I revisited the Fall in May of 2003 with two of my friends - this time there was even more water in the fall

Tree at the trail head - we saw many interesting trees on the hike

There was lots of water in the creeks along the hike

We encountered this tree top on the hike - the top recently broke off and fell in the middle of the trail

Nice view on the way

You can hike to the top of the fall - notice the platform in the back

You can get very close to the fall

But there is a cage if you go to look over the top

A nice rainbow existed at the fall

As can be seen, the fall is bigger than initially expected

When I was there, there was this nice rainbow at the fall.
