We spent a week touring Lassen National Park, where there was still 20+ feet of snow! And then Lassen & Plumas National Forests. We camped at Manzanita Lake, High Bridge, Roxie Peconum, Spanish Creek, and Gansner Campgrounds. We sledded, hiked, swam, searched for wildflowers, skipped rocks, roasted marshmallows and had a great time! |
Roop’s Fort, the oldest structure in Susanville, built in 1854 as a trading post and ranch |
On road/car camping trips, look into swimming opportunities at local community pools - that way you can also get a shower! Susanville has a beautiful new community pool |
Roxie Peconum Campground is a sacred site for the Mountain Maidu. Every spring they hold a bear dance here. It's an incredibly picturesque spot, especially in the spring when the wildflowers are blooming! And it's a free campground! |
