Can anyone enlighten me how Pigeon Cliffs, located in the Susan River Canyon, just west of Susanville received its name? When I was a youngster, I spent an incredible amount time exploring the Susan River Canyon.  However, I never seen any pigeons at the cliffs. I have never come across any historical notations about the cliffs period. Another case in point, Inspiration Point never entered the local vernacular until the 1920s. Prior to that, it was the bluff behind Susanville.
