Little Sur River : ウィキペディア英語版 | Little Sur River
The Little Sur River and its South Fork tributary comprise a 〔 long river on the Central Coast of California. They drain a watershed of about of the Big Sur area, a thinly settled region of the Central California coast where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. The South Fork and the North Fork both have their headwaters in the Ventana Wilderness, straddling Pico Blanco mountain, and lower portions are in the Los Padres National Forest. The forks converge about before the river empties into the Pacific Ocean. The river's steep canyons and high chaparral-covered ridges are host to a number of rare species including the Santa Lucia Fir, Dudley's lousewort, and virgin stands of old-growth redwood. == Little Sur River watershed ==
The upper reaches of the Little Sur River is fed by several tributaries entirely within the Ventana Wilderness and much of the river is in pristine condition. The upstream river canyon is characteristic of the Ventana Wilderness region: steep-sided, sharp-crested ridges separating valleys.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://camppicoblanco.org/files/Pico_Overview.pdf )〕 In 1973 the California State Legislature, recognizing the river's "extraordinary scenic, fishery, wildlife, (and) outdoor recreational values" and to protect its "free-flowing and wild status," added the river to the California Protected Waterways System.〔 Responding to the state's request, in 1981 Monterey County added the river to its Protected Waterways Management Plan and encouraged the state in its Big Sur Coast Land Use Plan to designate the Little Sur area as a "coastal resource of national significance."〔〔
