The following is an excerpt from page 152 of alum David Wyman's
new book.
Butte Creek Canyon and
the Centerville Road
When I was a college student I would occasionally drive a few
miles with my girlfriend to the Honey Run Road Covered Bridge in
Butte Creek Canyon, not far from Chico State. We would walk across
the bridge, listening to our footsteps echo inside the wooden span,
listening to the water flowing beneath us, and then share a kiss
in the night gone suddenly very still.
It's been a long time since I've kissed anyone at the covered
bridge. But I have been back—in daylight—to enjoy the
history and picturesque scenery of Butte Creek Canyon that I didn't
quite care as much about when I was in college.
To reach the mouth of Butte Creek Canyon from California Highway
99, take the Skyway exit in Chico, drive northeast about a mile
and a half, and turn left onto Honey Run Road. (The Skyway continues
to the town of Paradise, traveling up the ridge that is the south
wall of Butte Creek Canyon.) Honey Run Road quickly enters Butte
Creek Canyon and travels beneath a canopy of oaks, liquid amber
(sweetgum), and digger pines, following along the north side of
Butte Creek. The black cliffs above the road are ancient lava flows
that originated far to the north in the Cascade Range. Those flows,
which continued for millions of years, cover the even older Sierra
bedrock, which is exposed at the bottom of the canyon. Butte Creek
Canyon is, then, a meeting place between two great mountain ranges.
