"It was my first time up in the Sequoias and probably one of the clearest Milky Way I have ever seen.

My boyfriend and I had heard about a meteor shower happening in the next view days so we knew the sky would be beautiful. We stayed up late enough to see the Milky Way come out from behind the mountain and it was well worth the wait."

Lower Twin Lake

The “lesser” known Lower Twin Lake is a seemingly private camping experience along the trail to the centerpiece of Lassen Volcanic National Park.

Todos Santos

The reward for ultra-light packing means on-demand immaculate skies, like seen here at Todos Santos in Baja California.

Caprock Quickie

At times it may have more mud than snow, but if winter camping in the South Prong Loop of Caprock Canyon State Park looks this good, then we’re all in.
