"This photo was taken on a weekend trip to Figueroa Mountain with a group of camp friends. We try to get out of town at least once a month to clear our head and get back to nature, and this was one of those trips.
Figueroa campground is also a great getaway because you can drive down the mountain and go wine tasting during the day. Wine tasting, great weather, and camping! What could be better?!
I recommend venturing to this campground in March/April when the wildflowers are blooming and the mountain is not yet crowded--we were pretty much the only people camping that weekend.
The stargazing at night is pretty spectacular too!"
Gear List:
Tent - REI Quarter Dome 2
Camera - Contax 645
The Mittens
Camping in Monument Valley puts you in the front row to enormous rock features, cliffs, and the famous pair of buttes with “thumb” outcrops known as The Mittens.
Mt. Lassen Base Camp
A campspot nearly in the “shadows” of Mt. Lassen is the ideal resting point on a cold, full moon-lit night.
