Want to hike among dozens of alpine lakes without crowds? This is your destination. Hills were a bit much for our biking skills and fishing the lakes in October (Downey & Milk) yielded not a single bite. But the scenery and the many trails out of this site are like nothing I’ve ever seen - stunning! We did manage to get our Winnebago camper van up that dirt road but it took nearly an hour to g... Want to hike among dozens of alpine lakes without crowds? This is your destination. Hills were a bit much for our biking skills and fishing the lakes in October (Downey & Milk) yielded not a single bite. But the scenery and the many trails out of this site are like nothing I’ve ever seen - stunning! We did manage to get our Winnebago camper van up that dirt road but it took nearly an hour to go the 5+ miles. Those pot holes are NO JOKE. This place is a hiking paradise.

Seeing Mt. Lassen 90 miles away as the crow flies really is special. The fire lookout on the peak above Bassets was close and made me wonder what conversations may have been had, signaled by mirror, smoke or flag, occurring between the two fire sentries. The out house on the edge of a cliff was unique to say the least. ~7600 elevation gives way to 100 mile visibility and provides meaning to the sa... Seeing Mt.

Although we needed to drive about 6 miles down a bumpy dirt road which is best done in a 4WD, I was pleasantly surprised with this campground. There is no garbage, so you need to pack it out, there were squeaky clean vaulted toilets with toilet paper, parking for day hikers or backpackers, and campsites for car campers with bear lockers that were right next to the trailhead.

There is no garbage, so you need to pack it out, there were squeaky clean vaulted toilets with toilet paper, parking for day hikers or backpackers, and campsites for car campers with bear lockers that were right next to the trailhead. We arrived at 9pm Friday night and got the last spot.

Beautiful and Peaceful Place! Sierra National Forest is an amazing place to visit! The views are beautiful, with tall trees, winding roads, and fresh air. It is a great spot to relax and enjoy nature. I saw an incredible view where the clouds were below me, making it feel like I was on top of the world. The big trees and green forests make driving and walking here very special. If you love hiki... Beautiful and Peaceful Place! Sierra National Forest is an amazing place to visit!

It's for someone who wish to avoid crowd and spend some time lonely midst of huge mountains with oak trees and meadows filled with wild flowers. Loved each and every minute there, the gorgeous views waiting in every turn , topography changing now and then. From lakes to thick green mountain to almost all dead trees in some upper parts it offers all sorts of adventure for nature lovers. Worth a vis...
