뷰트 카운티‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 천연기념물

A truly amazing canyon, easily accessible from Chico. In spring, it's a wildflower explosion. There are several trails. Long pants are a plus, as there are rattlesnakes. It's still worth it!! The basalt rock through which the river flows has a special name: Lovejoy Basalt. It looks a bit like Krog from the Marvel Comics.

North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve is a 3,300-acre reserve with geological features that were created by basaltic lava flows millions of years ago.

This melted metal sign in the middle of the burned forest gives you a good idea of how incredibly hot the fires in this area were in 2021.

This area has been hit badly by the Dixie wildfire in 2021. You walk through ashes and somewhat suspicious trees, so be careful in this sad, but impressive area.

Frog Spring is a great flowing water source. Don’t camp here, you are in the middle of the burn zone with dead trees that can fall any time. A safe zone is just 1 mile ahead.

Good camping and water source
