"My best friend and I were backpacking over Memorial Day 2015. The night before we'd camped at Snag Lake, made a detour to the Cinder Cone in the morning, and ended up at Lower Twin Lake.

It was early in the season so there were still tons of downed trees and debris everywhere but this little spot happened to fit our tent.

It was so quiet and pristine."

A tentview in Mt. Hood National Forest makes waiting for dry climbing conditions more pleasant.

Great Wall Of Camping

Those seeking an “alternative” campspot can find rest for a night on the Great Wall of China near the town of Huanghuacheng.

Lodgepole

Dark sky views at Lodgepole Campground is one of the reasons why it’s such a popular campspot in Sequoia National Park.
