SUMMARY

The Upper Ridge is a scenic area located in the Upper Butte watershed of California. This region is known for its diverse flora and fauna, including oak woodlands, chaparral, and grasslands. Visitors to the Upper Ridge can enjoy hiking, camping, birdwatching, and wildlife viewing. One of the unique features of this area is its rare and endangered species, such as the Swainson's hawk and the California red-legged frog. The Upper Ridge is also home to several natural springs and streams, which provide habitat for aquatic species such as steelhead trout and Western pond turtles.

In addition to its natural beauty, the Upper Ridge is also rich in cultural history. The region was once inhabited by the Maidu people, who were known for their basket weaving and acorn gathering. Today, visitors can see evidence of the Maidu's presence, including petroglyphs and grinding stones. The Upper Ridge also played an important role in California's gold rush, with several mining camps established in the area. Overall, the Upper Ridge is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in California's natural and cultural heritage.
