We noticed a lot of bikers right away, which was neat to see other people and that it wasn't too secluded. I took my son in the stroller, and I would say it was not stroller friendly. There is a ton of rocks, sticks, branches, tree trunks and root systems all over the actual trail you walk on, which were beautiful to look at- but not as enjoyable to steer around.

We took ourselves on a waterfall tour of Norther California this spring and we hiked to over a…read moredozen waterfalls. Potem falls was my favorite by far. The good: This hike is very short and easily doable for all fitness levels. Although there is decline down and incline back, even someone out of shape can make it back up (ask me how I'm sure :) ) The payoff is amazing! The fall is gorgeous and centered so you are able to see it well from any angle at the bottom. There is thunder and mist and a beautiful pool of water as well as shade to enjoy it in. We saw wildlife, including a lizard (pictured) and a deer on our way out. The not so good: The road is dirt for the last few miles and has a steep drop-off, so drive slow and pay attention. I was lucky enough not to have anyone in front of me but halfway through the drive a cybertruck came up behind me and they had to stop for a while to create distance because there was so much dirt flying at their car that they couldn't see. Even with the dirty and sometime scary drive, these falls are definitely worth visiting.

The walk down to Potem Falls is pretty easy…read more Parking: A pull-out on the side of the road right in front of the "Potem Falls" sign. There's enough space for ~4 cars. We noted broken glass on the ground so there may be a risk of break-ins here. The walk itself was a gradual descent which made it one of the easier ones. We went on Thanksgiving Day and only encountered a couple walking down to the falls while we were leaving. The waterfall is beautiful and looks like a really fun spot to swim in the summer.

Wonderful views of the mountains while you travel around a healthy looking pond and creek surrounded by native greenery. This park has access roads to adjacent neighborhoods which is such a great feature for them. I like to walk here and watch the sunsets, or after a rain - which brings the color and maybe a large rainbow which I have experienced!

It was scenic, there's lots of different lakes that dot the area. It's really pretty. People come here for boating, swimming, and hiking up to the waterfalls.

I suppose perfect swim weather. Other water sports I'm sure bring in many from afar. Nature lovers and people who like to travel in RVs or travel trailers I think would love this place. Probably few better places for camping. Due to the shape of the lake there is lots of shore and very few people using it. I think its an underrated lake but I still prefer Lake Tahoe - and at about the same distance for me from home I probably would never come to this lake as a destination. There is something about the trees or the air in Lake Tahoe that lures me in more like a fly to a bug zapper... and I'm not alone - its popularity is shown by the packed beaches. I can compare this place only to Lake Tahoe and another thing that I love about LT is how it (or at least South Lake Tahoe) is the perfect marriage of nature and city. There are bars and steak houses and music venues and other thing you could imagine that a decent city has. Mount Shasta seems to just be nature. If your driving long distances I think its worth a stop. Take an hour. Stretch your legs - get in your 10,000 steps even when you are on the road.

My family and I have been renting jet skis around the globe for years, and not once did anyone perform a post-use inspection. I have no problem with them performing a post-use inspection, but if you are going to do that, you need to also do a pre-use inspection in front of us. We were on the lake, away from debris and the shore, yet she said the jet ski sucked up something and was damaged. We were charged an additional fee for parts and labor for repairs. The thing is, if you didn't perform a pre-use inspection in front of the customer, how do we know this isn't previous damage? Do they do this to all unsuspecting customers? Who knows. Lesson learned for next time.
