Golden Gate Park in the morning. Golden Gate is a wonderful location to get some fresh air in San Francisco, to get out and walk or bike around on a wonderful early summer day. Get out and do it before the foggy season rolls in!

For another great wilderness getaway, go visit Lassen Volcanic National Park in northern California, not too far from Potem Falls. Pictured here is a view from the Chaos Jumbles looking west, and chasing the sun leads us to Reflection Lake, which truly lives up to its name.

The days are getting warmer and the wonderful weather requires we go outside to enjoy it. Here’s an idea for a way to revel in affordable luxury: try a simple picnic at a waterfall. Bring a bottle of champagne, perhaps some cheese and crackers, and someone you love.

Keeping with the theme of Potem Falls, why not go for a picnic? The weather is getting to be the perfect temperature for outdoor activities!

This is Potem Falls, a 70 foot waterfall that comes off the Pit River arm of Shasta Lake, near Round Mountain and Montgomery Creek, California. From Fender’s Ferry Road, continue for about nine miles on a winding Forest Service road (it turns into a dirt road that’s tolerable to 97% of vehicles), cross a bridge over the Pit River Arm, and about half a mile onward lies a turnout and what’s left of a sign.
A short hike down the hill on a switchback trail leads to one of the most amazing microclimates I’ve ever seen! This spot is great for a day away from the bustle of civilization; have a picnic, go swimming (there’s a rope swing!), and enjoy the nice waterfall breeze.
-
Finally, the days are warming up, and Spring is in the air! A nice warm rain shower is a welcome break from the cold, quickly fleeing the northern California valley. Here’s a little wind farm along the CA 12, almost to the Sacramento delta. After a slew of driving up and down the state for days at a time, it’s certainly time to relax, and what better way than a nice drink and a beautiful vista.
