"Less than an hour from Redding, this very underrated national park showcases otherworldly attractions like Sulphur Works and Bumpass Hell; marvel at bubbling mudpots, meander around massive steam vents, and read up on the park’s unique ecosystem at the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center." - Cu Fleshman Cu Fleshman Cu is a freelance writer and editor with more than five years of experience.

"Fairly remote and still off most travelers’ radar, this is California’s response to Yellowstone; driving the highway that traverses it, I could spot mud pots, fumaroles, and hot springs right off the road, making it a perfect alternative to more popular national parks." - Daria Bachmann
"An off-road boondocking location offering a close, panoramic view of a snowcapped volcanic peak; the site provided a memorable first-night experience under forest sounds and a clear sightline to the mountain that made the roughing-it trade-offs feel worthwhile." - Jess Dawson Jess Dawson A Winnebago-traveling nomad since 2018, Jess Dawson now has a home base outside of Austin.

"The park features aspens, oaks, and sagebrush that paint a golden border around sparkling blue lakes and immense lava peaks from mid-September through October." - Travel + Leisure Editors
