Mossbrae isn’t bad. You can walk alongside the tracks for most of the trail, but you really do have to constantly listen for trains. There hasn’t been a time where I haven’t run across one.

Potential is a cool swimming hole and falls. I’d recommend checking it out. There’s a waterfall loop in the area where you can see over a dozen waterfalls in a single weekend. You can check it out via a simple Google search…I’ll have to do a blog post on it one day.

Both are great! You can see a lot of Mossbrae and Lassen on my website too. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

Butte Lake.

You can get to it by visiting the campground here

Then hike to Cinder Cone from the trailhead there.

I camped at Butte Lake Campground. If you go in the off-season (I went in November), no reservations are required and there are plenty of spaces. It's right next to the trailhead to Cinder Cone (Where I took the shot).

I'm an hour and a half away too, in Paradise.

Go at sunrise, if possible. The light is incredible and the dunes' colors really pop before the sunlight hits them and washes away the color. Under a full moon is pretty cool too.

AI nature artwork coming out of Midjourney reminds me of his work. His work is incredible.

It’s looking good. As long as we get some rain in mid-late February, it should be crazy good this year.

Oh dang, after your edit with the image link, I totally see it. Crazy teeth.

I can’t unsee it now…thanks. 😂

I think I maybe do? Looks like a cloaked being hunched over in the shadows of the trees.

It was mid July. Just the season for a lot of people I think.

I had to cut the right side off on mine due to people having to go in and out of the water to get their selfies.

I was there since 4am…smh.

If he doesn’t have one, I’ve got a 4k desktop wallpaper from the same location (flowers too) here.

Yup!

I totally see an animal in that rock, like a cat, dog, or bear. Crazy cool.
