Hijacking a thread on the California forum is such an anomaly!
And highnlite has certainly never taken part in such a horrible thing.
O.K. .... that's enough now or we're going to get in trouble ... back to the woods.

Not all National Forests have Forests, at least not to any great extent. National Forests is an interesting and new subject for this forum. At least two are called rather snarkily, National Brush Fields.

Their purpose has always been to control use of natural resources. National Forests were created initially by Grover Cleveland and extended greatly by Theodore Roosevelt to protect America's timber, water and graze from the rape and pillage advocated by the Conservative Republicans of his day (not much has changed)

The Los Padres National Forest for instance, was not created to protect redwoods, but to preserve watersheds so that there would be water for downstream users. That is still the case, despite what radical environmental groups such as Center for Biological Diversity, and Los Padres Forest Watch think. They have the mistaken notion that National Forests are preserves. Instead they are much more like farms.

Had to select the San Bernardino NF just because I lived and worked in them for 5 years! Lots of treasures by such a huge population, and there are places to go to disappear from it all. My favorite places are the Siberia Creek Trail, the view from Morton Peak, camping on Keller Peak, Tahquitz Peak...

Close second would be the Inyo. Gorgeous!

I recently moved to Chico, so I'll eventually need to explore Lassen and Plumas NF. Any suggestions?

Bulldogdad, The HT is a fine forest, little visited

I would find it hard to pick a favorite. I like them all and have worked in 4 of them.
That's exactly why I like it. Especially in Nevada.

The Forest Service has a number of research facilities, they are not National Forests, they are as the name states, Research stations, there is another one near Placerville Institute of Forest Genetics and they used to run the Central Sierra Snow Lab, but, they are not National Forests, see map
