Today we did something called a water fall loop! We took a short drive to the first one, which included nine miles on an unpaved road! It is called Potem Falls. It was a nice secluded spot that wasn't marked so we were happy to find it!
The next stop was Burney Falls, which was a short drive from our first stop. It is a state park and thankfully had restrooms that were open! Whew! The struggles of traveling during a pandemic makes things like bathrooms really important! I think this was my favorite spot!
Along the way to our next stop we got a few glimpses of Mount Shasta. It was hiding a bit though.
Our next stop, the McCloud River Falls, had three waterfalls. Well, two that we would count. One wasn't a waterfall based on what we expected but I don't know how they define those types of things! We went to the upper falls first.
Some sticks were thrown in and we tried to track them down the falls but didn't seem to have the right angle. Then we went to the middle falls (sorry for the sun rays). We didn't go down to the bottom knowing we had another one to see at this location and another location to go.
And now the lower falls. It looked very small (in drop) but it is hard to say for sure.
And the kids hung in there and we made our final stop.
It is beautiful with a cave behind the waterfall.
It was cool to be able to walk behind the falls and see the amazing rock face!
Of course the kids enjoyed climbing all the rocks.
And the cool view from behind the falls.
