The American River at Gristmill Recreation Area

Now that it's December, I should probably finish posting the photographs I took along the American River Parkway back in September, shouldn't I? And the ones I took in October, too. I'll try to get to October later this evening, but for now, here's the last of September.

Continuing my exploration of spots along the American River that I hadn't previously been to, I went to a little place on Mira del Rio Drive that's not even big enough to be called a park, and that is therefore apparently known instead simply as Gristmill Recreation Area. The walk from the street to the river here is very short, but there isn't much to see at the end of the walk. And pretty much the only thing to see during the walk is this pile of logs.



( But come look at the river anyway! )

The American River at Ambassador Park

In October I went to Ambassador Park, which impressed me as being one of the nicer spots along the American River Parkway. The river comes right up next to the street, the plants are alive-looking even in October, and the parking is free.
