Beautiful Burney Falls
The day after our failed attempt to see Crater Lake (an excuse to go back again!), we departed our beloved Railroad Park Resort and started to make our way to Lassen Volcanic National Park. To break up the drive we ended up stopping at McArthur-Burney Falls State Park. Honestly, we weren't expecting much, but once we arrived our expectations were quickly blown out of the water.
Burney Falls is an amazingly picturesque waterfall. It reminded us a lot of Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia given how the falls take many different paths downward into the pool rather than via one giant waterfall mouth. And to top it all off, the lighting was perfect that day for photographs. We both rented cameras for this trip to see if we might want to purchase them down the road, so we spent some time adjusting different shutter speed settings to "smooth" out the flow of the waterfalls in the photos.
The waterfall is very much the centerpiece of the park, which also boasts camping sites and 910 acres of forest. At 129 ft, it's not the tallest waterfall in California, but it just may be the prettiest!
