Beautiful. I live about an hour and a half from there and am now inspired to go see it on one of my next days off. Thanks, OP!

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).

Fantastic thanks again for the info!

There is wonderful campgrounds there at Sutter lake

I go there all yr round I have yet to see the Dunes what side of the park is it the road that goes to the summit or the back side closer to Chester?

You can get to it by visiting the campground here

Then hike to Cinder Cone from the trailhead there.

Which campground Sutter or Butte

Butte Lake.

Was thinking of hitting lassen or Dunsmuir on Monday since off work.

I have yet to be on that side yet been wanting too. I spend lot of time at Emerald that’s my favorite

Both are great! You can see a lot of Mossbrae and Lassen on my website too. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

How is it getting to moss. I chickened out when I found out that the train tracks were active. I have some mobility issues so got spooked. Have you been to Potum love spending day there

Mossbrae isn’t bad. You can walk alongside the tracks for most of the trail, but you really do have to constantly listen for trains. There hasn’t been a time where I haven’t run across one.

Potential is a cool swimming hole and falls. I’d recommend checking it out. There’s a waterfall loop in the area where you can see over a dozen waterfalls in a single weekend. You can check it out via a simple Google search…I’ll have to do a blog post on it one day.

I’ve been to most of them I’ve lived here for 4 years

One of the more unique National Parks I have visited. Nice photo!
