Kings Creek Falls in Lassen Volcanic National Park

I have fond memories of this trail - thanks for helping me recall this wonderful trail.

California Dreamin' right now. Love waterfalls.

Wow that place is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your experience

Ooh, adding this hike to my list

sadly through your videos, might be only way to experience parts of CA for a while because of the fires. Keep them coming please.

The upper cascades were the most amazing that I've every seen. I was there 8.8.20 and still good water flow. It must be amazing in the soringtime. Fantastic hike

awesome trail and waterfall!.......beautiful place!

Wow! So pretty. Kings Canyon NP is a treasure to be seen. I hiked the Mist Falls Trail, walked The Zumwalt Meadows and watched family swimming/jumping off by The Muir Rock but I know there’s more to be seen in this less-visited park, like this hike that you posted. Thanks for keeping us all inspired to do more, hike more, see a lot more of California!

When I was there a couple years ago they had the trail down diverted. A ranger told me that the steps going up are very narrow and it’s such a popular hike that they did that diversion. Plus going up the cascades you want and need to stop to enjoy the view and catch your breath. But it’s breath taking so it’s not really a hard hike. The hardest part was the horse trail going down. Very exposed and lots of rock. Was really hard on my knees. Stopped halfway down and found a tree to sit under and take a good water and snack stop. Had my lunch at the base of the cascades after spending time at the falls. Beautiful view for lunch.

Beautiful...Thank You

Beautiful, this is what I need at the end of a stressful workday!

Hi, I love your videos. So informative, and well photographed. Thanks for the video...

Nice falls, great park !!! Thank you for sharing video 😄😃👍👍

I live in shingletown, just below lassen park. I wish there was rain, it barely sprinkled we haven’t had any in a very long time. It’s true what you say about parking, it’s always bad there. The stairs remind me of the stairs going up to Yosemite falls, but I love Yosemite a lot more then lassen 😊.

Hi Josh! We were in Lassen last weekend and I fell in love with King's Creek Falls. It became our super favourite. Water was frigid! I posted pictures on FB and gave you credit for the inspiration to hike many trails there. Absolutely gorgeous!

Really been enjoying all your videos. Used to live in Paradise, CA and moved out of state when we got burned out in the Camp Fire, Nov 8, 2018. Our hearts ache for California. We were to spend the summer there, (pandemic postponement) doing much of what you love to do. Maybe next year. We love it dearly. So, for now, we live vicariously....til we can get back there.

Great hike. I one time stashed my bicycle across the road from the trail head and drove down to Summit South campground and started the hike there. When I got to the end I had a nice down hill ride back to the car.

The eastern half of Lassen NP is awesome, it's not as popular, but has some amazing features. Find Terminal Geyser, thank me after.

I completed this hike last week. Unfortunately, a large section of the area was mostly destroyed by the 2021 Dixie Fire. So, there are portions of your hike down to the falls where you walk through the charred remnants of what was once lush foliage. This makes wearing sunblock (or sun protecting clothes) very important. Even last week when the temperatures were in the low 60s at this elevation, it still felt "hot" due to the unabated sun. So, any hikers now must be very careful to bring plenty of water too. Sadly, fewer hikers actually took this trail while we were at the park. Yet, the King's Creek Falls -- despite being surrounded by brown and black burned trees and no grass -- was just as stunning! In fact, the creek and the falls are VERY green. This provides a stark contrast with the surrounding remains of the forest due to the fires. The one-way route up along the cascades is still the norm. However, it doesn't take long to get to the green meadow closer to the trailhead. It's a very worthwhile hike!

That park is so beautiful. I have never even heard of this one before. Will have to add this to the list of things to check out on my next trip to California. Thanks for sharing this with us!
