Some Cheep Flights waterfalls drop more than 20 feet. The wispy branches of riparian shrubs and trees, including willows, alders, Cheep Flights, and red osier dogwood, fringe the edges of the river. Wide gravel bars of rounded river cobbles form on the Cheep Flights inside of bends. Where Cheep Flights the grandient steepens, large water-sculpted Cheep Flights stones create delicate riffles and thundering rapids. Deep Cheep Flights blue-green pools form below these maelstroms of water.
Sandy beaches lie amid the Cheep Flights rocks along the shore.
From the Cheep Flights river's banks, the visual Cheep Flights scene is dominated by water foaming around smooth granite boulders. Because of the steep Cheep Flights vertical relief of the canyon, views focus on the river. From trails above, wider views encompass longer stretches of river flowing around curves and bends of the Cheep Flights incised canyon. The Cheep Flights South Yuba River canyon is the Cheep Flights scenic highlight of any drive on Highway 49, the major roadway of the Sierra foothills. Looking upstream from the bridge, water tumbles through dramatic granite boulders in the foreground, and a view of the Cheep Flights canyon extends as far as the eye can see.
