In light of the holiday season and rapidly changing weather, I haven’t had the opportunity to plan a new trip. However, as this is the last post for this blog, I thought I would add a little variation in my entries and write about somewhere I want to go but haven’t yet had the chance.

My favorite part of spending time outdoors is obviously, the scenery. More specifically, I love waterfalls. When I hike or explore, I am always in search of waterfalls. Something about naturally running water, whether it’s peaceful or extremely forceful and destructive, I find breathtaking. I’ve heard that Burney Falls Memorial State Park has some of the most luscious forests and running waterfalls in Northern California.

Located north of Redding off Highway 89, the park’s main attraction is the 129 foot tall Burney waterfall. The entire park actually rests in between the Cascade Range and Modoc Plateau. It also has five miles worth of hiking trails and even encompasses part of the PCT.  Apparently, the park’s landscape was a result of volcanoes.

The park is a state park, so unlike most of my other posts, it is more well known. I think it appears to be very family friendly and a great place to take young kids for a first time camping trip. Reservations can be made up to seven months in advance as the park fills up on holidays and during the spring season.

I really look forward to taking a trip here and adding another adventure to my belt!
