Visited on 6/11/2018 on our way back from Springfield, Oregon to visit family and to attend Jeff’s niece, Hannah’s High School graduation ceremony. We stopped on the way back to check out Dorris Reservoir just 3 miles east of Alturas, California. This 1,060 acre reservoir is located in the Modoc National Wildlife Refuge at a location of 4,396 feet above sea level. The mountains in the distance were beautiful with a light snow cap on the top of them. Very peaceful and quiet area with just barn swallows swooping down near the dam when we visited.
The town of Alturas is located at over 4,000 feet. Dorris Reservoir is only 2 miles from Alturas so its altitude is about the same. Just to give you a head's up that the elevation is higher than 1,341 feet.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, good catch of my typo. I have corrected my narrative so that it reflects the correct elevation of 4,396 feet above sea level.
