"Oh wow, that fish is as tall as me!" Explained seven-year-old Levi. 

Levi joined the River Parkway Trust for a program along the banks of the San Joaquin River earlier this year. While hiking to Ledger Island the group stopped to take in the views of the river. An amazing thing happened!

Two adult Chinook salmon were spotted swimming in a riffle. Program Assistant Katie seized the opportunity to teach the youth about the incredible lifecycle of salmon.
