The monument is pretty huge, with lots of places to explore. Hyatt Lake is mostly dry now (end of September), but there were lots of birds, and interesting patterns in the dry clay of the shore. Little Hyatt Lake has a nice trail around it for a leisurely stroll, with mixed habitat for bird diversity, and interesting columnar basalt geology.
I was actually here working on some of the communication towers out here . Absolutely beautiful, especially being from New Jersey. Would love to come back and hike some of the area .
I have visited this park once. But now viewing it from above was a real treat. Beautiful cascades , I could not view mount Shasta as it was on the other side of the window. Very inspired to visit once again.
Great hikes and awesome examples of biodiversity! Cool historical stuff involving the Applegate Trail. Get a meal at the Green Springs Inn!
Soda Mountain Wilderness is amazing. The ecological diversity in this area is off the charts, due to the Cascade, Siskiyou, and Klamath mountain ranges all converge in this spot. Some of the best PCT in Southern Oregon.
