Westbound California 36 approaches Interstate 5 in Red Bluff, just west of its junction with California 99. Turn left here for the salmon viewing area.

A historic U.S. 99 shield is posted along westbound California 36 as the highway enters metropolitan Red Bluff. Originally we thought Caltrans erected this sign, consdering that it's on a state route. However, Warren Jensen corrected us: "Historic 99 shields are paid for by community groups in our area, so thank the people of Red Bluff. Thanks, folks! Ironically, the section pictured was never part of U.S. 99. The original alignment was north of this point (the original bridges across these flood channels of the Sacramento are historic landmarks and are worth a side trip)."
