My friend’s flight was today so we knew we had to be back in San Francisco with time to spare. There seemed to be some scenic waterfall trails to do that were relatively short so we elected to try out Kings Creek Falls. After our big peak hikes the two previous days this did feel like a break but it was NOT a simple 2.3 mile stroll. And it’s not precisely a loop either, you can keep going after the falls to do a bigger loop that has offshoots if you want.

The nice thing about camping is waking up with the sunrise! So we had no issues getting up early this morning. I brought eggs, breakfast sausages and instant coffee for us so we had a nice big and hearty breakfast. Although I didn’t pack olive oil or salt so that’s something to get for our next camping trip haha. One annoying thing about this campsite is that they placed this huge concrete table on an incline so the whole thing is tilted.

I recently turned 30 and I knew for my birthday I wanted to get some camping and hiking time in. I’ve been to Lassen before but on a motorcycle roadtrip where we didn’t do much besides the scenic drive and swimming in a lake. Lassen’s snow takes a long time to melt and mid-July is in fact the best time to try to go for high elevation trails to be open.
