Old-timer tree Lassen Volcanic National Park

garyt Been to Lassen 3 times and I think it's possibly the most underappreciated National Park in the U.S. The hike from a parking lot at around 8,000+ ft elevation to the top of the peak at 11,000 ft is an amazing treat - above treeline, with Mt Shasta in the distance and best of all, anyone came make the climb or more accurately, long hike to the top.


Old Cemeteries
California is dotted with interesting old cemeteries. You can find dusty ghost town graveyards, large urban cemeteries filled with figures in California history, even a small graveyard for Eugene O'Neill's dog Blemie. I don't go seeking them, but if you travel around the state on backroads, you will often come across them. List any recommendations for interesting cemeteries below and post pics if you have them.

johnpgibbs If you travel to McCloud / Mt. Shasta turn right off Hwy 89 at Chevron station in McCloud go one mile to one of Northern California oldest. Located just past the McCloud Golf Course.



Favorite California Wildflower Spots
For wildflower lovers, California has a lot to offer: early spring desert blooms, vast sweeps of orange California poppies, high alpine cushion plants, fairy rings in vernal pools, etc. What are your favorite spots to go see/photograph wildflowers in California?

docbrown I'll start things off with one of my favorite spots, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. In good years you can get grand sweeps of blooming flowers across the desert landscape and it can be truly stunning. Pink sand verbena, yellow Encelias, purple Phacelias, the crimson flowers of ocotillo – it’s hard to beat. Even in bad years there’s plenty of wildflower hunting to be done - keep an eye out for such beauties as the ghost flower (Mohavea confertiflora) and the desert lily (Hesperocallis undulata). This is also one of the few places to see the only native California palm, +Washingtonia filifera+ and the unusual Elephant tree. Because Anza-Borrego blooms early like the rest of the desert, you have to start thinking of getting out there around early March, but it can vary year on year.
This group is for anyone who loves exploring the lesser-known parts of California, from dusty desert roads, to hidden Gold Rush towns, remote wilderness areas to secret locales within easy reach of cities. Road trip ideas, state history, natural history, hiking and camping, quirky hotels, classic saloons, it's all fair-game here. Whether you're looking for ghost towns, stalking rare flora and fauna, or simply wanting to find an interesting way from a to B, come on in - all are welcome!
