Camp at Warner Valley
Pacific Crest Trail, CaliforniaWarner Valley Campground is at the end of Warner Valley Road. It's 16 dollars a night at a first come first serve basis. As far as the campground it self, there are a few bathrooms and each site has a fire ring and a picnic table. There are 17 sites which isn't a ton but since it's a fairly unused area so you should have no problem getting a spot.There are so many things to do and see in the ar...

First thing you'll notice as you approach the lake is the sulfur smell followed by the turquoise, green/brown water. The lake itself is more of a pond but the...

Start from the Butte Lake trailhead, off Highway 44 at the north end of Lassen Volcanic National Park. From the parking lot walk past the little boat launch and the trailhead is obvious in front of you. Be mentally prepared to be walking in loose sand for most of this trip (and bring ankle or knee braces if you have a weak joint). You'll walk along the edge of the intimidating black "fantastic...
