If you come at the right time of year, Rubicon River offers some splendid whitewater, and you could always explore Barts Valley. This lake is so wonderful. There's so much to do here at Bunker

along the Dry Lakes Trail is wonderful fun. All through the summer, highs ordinarily are in the 80's at Bunker Lake, and the nighttime is a little colder of course, usually in the 40's. Daytime highs all through the wintertime
are in the 40's with temperatures at Bunker Lake dipping down into the 20's through winter nights. And if that's not enough, there's heaps more to do right next door to Bunker Lake. Glide down the rapids of Silver Creek - South Fork
in a kayak. Bunker Lake sees pretty high levels of rain; January is the month that gets the most rain, and the driest of the months is July. You'll in fact wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the fun things in the Northern

to Joes Spring will fill your soul with tremendous feelings. Buck Meadow is a brilliant location; why not take a refreshing hike along the Parsley Bar Trail.
