Belden
A crossing point that made someone come back.
Dedicated town story
A Belden interviewee remembers a first drive through the Feather River Canyon that prompted a return. The Pacific Crest Trail crossing, river, red bridge and lodge meet within the same small settlement. Its pull lies in that convergence: a long walk or canyon drive reaches a place where someone can stop.
