Lassen National Park, 10/2/26
First ever visit to Lassen, a quick weekend trip camping at Manzanita Lake. Woke up around 4am both days to hike Cinder cone and Lassen itself, did a bunch of other hikes! Wasn’t too busy, although we did start early, and the weather was quite comfortable.
Took lots of photos, some of my favorites and just trying different edits on them. Can’t wait to go back, really impressed of everything there was to experience and enjoy!

White Mountain peak
From what I hear, the road to get to the trailhead is a bit crazy and a high clearance vehicle is recommended. I don't have such vehicle. I'm looking for someone who 1) has a vehicle that could handle this and 2) would like to hike the peak with me. I have no date in mind yet. Just throwing this out there.

Solo Overnight Backpacking Trip to Half Dome, Yosemite
Hey r/Backpacking, wanted to share my recent solo overnight trip up Half Dome. I picked up a wilderness permit, hiked up past Nevada Falls in the afternoon shade, set up a small hammock camp, and hit the subdome and cables early the next morning before the crowds hit.
Check out the full video report here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE38VppAV_0
Let me know what you think or if you have any questions about backpacking routes in Yosemite!

Rockbound Lake or Buck Island Lake?
Hi, I'm planning a group backpacking trip in November to the Sierras. Right now I'm leaning towards driving to Loon lake, hike to Pleasant Campground, spend one night, hike further down Rubicon trail, spend second night, hike back out.
My first question is for anyone with experience around this area, should we make for Buck Island lake or Rockbound lake? Which one has nicer camping spots? There will probably be around 8 of us.
The second question is if anyone has recommendations for similar itineraries elsewhere. The reason I like Loon lake as a starting point is because the road is cleared of snow in the winter but it goes quite high up so it's a good starting point to do some snow camping. (This group is experienced with winter / snow camping)
I also like that we can do pleasant campground for an easy first night to then venture further into the backcountry from there.
Any input appreciated, thanks!
