Burney Falls

Last but not least, on this trip were going to McArthur-Burney Falls State Park. We will be staying outside the park at the Burney Falls KOA campground. 

Once we were all set up we headed to the Subway Caves closer to Lassen National Park. The Subway Caves were amazing! The Cave is really a Lava Tube, its sharp and rocky. The caves are really dark inside. We had fun turning our flashlights off and trying to find are way. The caves are also nice and cool inside at a cozy 46 degrees. This is very nice when its 90+ outside. 
The next day we went to Burney Falls SP. We left camp early so we could get there before it got too busy. We did the fall loop trail the falls were super cool. When we were near the falls it was wet and chilly. After the fall trail we turned in are junior ranger booklet to earn a new patch. Then we did the Head Waters trail. This trail follows the river to where it comes out of the ground. It was a very pretty trail. When we reached the head water point we saw like 10 turtles sitting logs and rocks. The head water trail was part of the PCT ( pacific crest trail )
We drove down to Lake Brittany the water was really nice after doing the 2 hikes. I swam all the booies and walked on the wire that held them together. We had a picnic while i was laying in the sun drying off. Mom and Dad think they are funny and picked me up and through me into the lake not once but twice.
 The KOA we were staying at was holding a craft activity for all the campers. The craft that we got to do was painting rocks. We all painted several we took a few home but left some because the campground is trying to build a painted rock garden. We really enjoyed this campground.
Mom said it was one of her favorites

🔥🦔The Seven Wonders and Fire Wave Loop🔥

Image
Hey, JJ here we are at Valley of Fire State Park. We have been here for almost a week. I am going to tell you about a really cool trail that we did . It was the 7 wounders and fire wave loop trail. It's 2.3 miles long It  was really cool.  Just a little ways down the trail there was a really cool wave of color on the rock. The colors were white, red, purple, and a lot more. Then we arrived at some small slot canyons . We did poses where our hands are on one side and our feet are on the other side. I was on top SP was under me MJ was under him and ET was on the ground. Farther down the trail there is the fire wave. It is all red with white  stripes. I didnt like it as much as the first wave because it didnt have as many colors.(see picture)   I thought the trail was really fun, I would definitely do it again.  JJ

🦔Dantes Peak & Zabriskies Point

Dantes peak sunset Have you ever watched the sunset before? Have you ever watched the full moon rise before? What about at the same time? We were lucky enough to do this.  The sun set Dantes Peak On our Last trip to Death Valley we did a hike called Dantes peak to see the  sunset and the full moon rise.  Sun set - Bad Water's below First off we had to drive up as high as we could. The road was pretty steep at a 15% grade. Once we made it to the top and parked, we walked all around to see the different views. We saw some really cool views of Bad Water's salt flats. Than we hiked up the mountain to the highest peak to find a spot to watch the sunset. The salt flats look so big from where we were. We found the perfect spot overlooking the flats . I found the perfect rock to sit on to watch the sunset in the West and the full moon rise in the East.The sunset was so pretty. It was really neat to watch the last rays of the sun set. We thought it would be dark after the sun went...
