If you like the wide open spaces, this entire area is for you. Sweeping vistas and high desert grandeur are just a couple benefits of extreme north-eastern California. Wildlife is both abundant and varied: Great Horned Owls, Pronghorn Antelope, Cougars, and more. Though you are less likely to actually see a cougar, rest assured that they see you! The terrain encompasses dense forested mountains and high sage desert, wild creeks and reservoirs, and more. Views of the two southernmost of the majestic cascades - Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen - and the leading edge of the Sierras are peppered throughout.This is a fabulous place to visit, and a beautiful drive if you are simply passing through.

Not many people can say they get to live in the Modoc National Forest..but I do! We absolutely love it up here! Its peaceful, its quiet, its beautiful! And I love when we get these thunder and lightening storms.. its so relaxing to sit and watch the rain and hear the thunder! This really is the last frontier of what used to be the wild west!

Modoc National Forest is home to Lava Beds National Monument. We entered via the North Entrance. The 14 mile drive to the monument is absolutely beautiful with tall pines and an occasional cinder cone along the way. RVs will have no problems. There is a small visitors center with museum that you must stop at before visiting the caves (lava tubes, there are many). The tubes vary from easy and paved to difficult. Enjoy a short visit at the center and Mushpot cave (easy) or an extended stay at the campground and go carving to your hearts content. We did Mushpot, drove the cave loop then entered Valentine on our way out of the park. Very nice visit.

Very rugged terrain and sparsely populated. Several lots of various sizes and prices. The entire area is economically depressed and the environment looks it in many areas. Still, a decent place to start a family if your of the SURVIVALIST BREED!!

I loved seeing evolution. How the Earth formed, hundreds of thousands of years ago. Rangers & Volunteers were awesome!
