On our way to Lassen, we decided to stop by Burney Falls State Park. Although initially skeptical of the $8 entrance fee "just to see the falls" we ended up doing some hiking, as well as having lunch at the lake so it was worth it.
The Falls Trail Loop was partially closed but we were able to hike most of it by backtracking (one bridge was under construction). It offered great views of the falls as well as Burney Creek. Over 1 million gallons of water flow over the 129ft falls everyday... pretty impressive.
Much like Lassen proved to be, the park was pretty quiet. There were just few people camping, or so it seemed (the campground is huge), and things at the lake were relaxing as well. I can't say enough about visiting places like this once things have quieted down for the summer. That said, I think we got our $8 worth.
Until the next adventure
