Steep Cliffs, Dangerous Roads and Good "free" Gold on the Historic South Yuba River

On this adventure my son and I take a drive down a steep one lane canyon road. We decided we would visit a river we have never been too. The only experience we have with the Yuba river is watching videos of others panning, sluicing and generally having a great time. After hours of time spent scouring google maps and looking for remote yet passible roads to get to stretches of the river that not been worked as hard. I came across a road that perked my interest. Tyler Foote Crossing. The road was originally built to connect two mines. I wanted to show the entire drive because this is a trip that most people will never actually choose to drive down because of either vehicle limitations or shear will. There are parts of this road that make your heart race just sitting in the car. This is not a road I would encourage you taking a vehicle with limited clearance. The Road does not require 4WD to get to the river and back. Invest in Gold the old fashioned with blood and sweat. It is good for the soul.
