Highway 36w from Red Bluff to Platina is very scenic especially as it nears Springtime. The creek pictured (which I believe is either Dry Creek or the east fork of Cottonwood Creek) runs along or near the highway for miles. The creek is babbling along just fine now but toward Fall it will unfortunately dry up. Ranchers bring their cattle to this area right after the first rains come and round them up again in late Summer when the creek starts to run dry. As you can see these cattle are enjoying plenty of grass and water. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).
