Kings Creek Falls Trail

10/17/22

I did this prior to the Dixie Fire so it’s a bit different now. The trail is easy to the Cascade Falls overlook but if you continue down to Kings Creek Falls there are some steep sections. I’d recommend making a loop by going to Cascade Falls overlook, continue down to Kings Creek Falls and back, then come up the steps along Cascade Falls (my favorite of the two). Where Kings Creek meanders through the meadow is also quite pretty and picturesque.

Bumpas Hell to Cold Boiling Lake

Lassen Peak

One of my personal favorites and a hidden gem of California that keeps circling my mind is the Lassen Peak Trail. Don't let the trail map (2.5 miles one way) deceive you and make you think this is a short trail. The elevation gain is is 2000 feet from the parking lot to the end of the peak. The air is very thin so, it's best to take your time. The trail hike and switch backs are made worth it b...

Seven Lake Loop in Lassen Volcanic NP

This hike is one of my favorites for when I only have a weekend to get my nature fix. To start off, visit either the Loomis Museum, Loomis Ranger Station, Butte Lake Ranger Station, Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center, Warner Valley Ranger Station, or Juniper Lake Ranger Station and pick up a wilderness camping permit (free of charge). Also be sure to have your bear canister to store your food in,...

Then, for 0.4 miles, the trail d...

Lake Helen in Lassen Volcanic NP

Lake Helen is a glacial lake in Lassen Volcanic NP. The park's winter season starts in October and runs through June. Lake Helen can be found thawing mid-June. The turquoise blue of the water comes from the minerals in it, and is mesmerizingly beautiful when thawing in pools over a snowy Lake Helen. Once fully thawed, Lake Helen is a great lake for reflection photos as there is no surface o...
