I am a fellow NPNer from the RMNP group in Colorado.
I have a trip coming up this month to Northern Calfornia
Specifically I will be visiting the coastal area from Mendocino to Cresecent City, the redwoods, Shasta-Trinity (via hwy 299) and possibly Lassen Volcanic NP.
I am looking for any advice on coastal shots, redwoods (trails must do's etc), any interesting hikes shots etc to explore along hwy 299 to Redding. And any advice on Lassen Volcanic.
Thanks for your help.

A friend of mine went backpacking in the Trinity Alps two years ago and said it was awesome. I think they hiked to Thompson Peak which is the highest peak in the Trinitys. I haven't been to any of those places youre visiting personally so I can't give firsthand experience.

I was just in Lassen last week. There's still a lot of snow in the higher elevations on the North-facing slopes. There are also a lot of wildflowers blooming right now.
I highly recommend the hike to Kings Creek falls. It's one of the most beautiful hikes I've ever done. The hike to Mill Creek falls is beautiful too.

Is there anything else you'd like to know?
