Riding east from Oroville on CA-70 you soon find yourself riding through the Feather River Canyon next to the Feather River and the Union Pacific rail road tracks.
The highway crosses the river over old bridges, goes through several tunnels, and even passes under a PG&E power plant that is built across and over the highway
- a very scenic ride!

... but, there's still some in the Feather River... for now...

You could blow right by Belden Town, especially at night, but, about 50 miles east of Oroville is the Belden Rest Area, so,
slow down when you see the "Rest Area 1 Mile" sign. The Belden Rest Area is on the left side of the highway and is immediately
followed by a bridge over Yellow Creek, at the end of which is your right turn to cross the one-lane bridge into Belden Town.
Also, during the day, look for a tan pipe coming down the face of the mountain at Yellow Creek like a giant sippy straw to
know where to turn.
