Reply to comment by RushDynamite in The Painted Dunes at Sunrise, in Lassen Volcanic National Park in California [OC][2048x1365] @JeremyVeselyPhotography by Fouve

I'm an hour and a half away too, in Paradise.

Go at sunrise, if possible. The light is incredible and the dunes' colors really pop before the sunlight hits them and washes away the color. Under a full moon is pretty cool too.

Chico here. Is it possible to camp or would it be an early more long departure to catch the sunrise, either way, I'm game, but would rather camp and catch both. Butte county has it's issues but the sunrises and sunsets are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen.

I camped at Butte Lake Campground. If you go in the off-season (I went in November), no reservations are required and there are plenty of spaces. It's right next to the trailhead to Cinder Cone (Where I took the shot).
