Life's too short to enjoy all the cool stuff in the Northern Sierra Nevada. Lindsey Campground is a great local campground, and a quick spree to South Fork Canyon Creek is absolutely a fine idea. Loney Meadow is a brilliant place to check out, and it's a good idea to stop at Jackson Creek.
A visit to Poison Canyon is always fun, and if you come at the right time of year, Fordyce Creek offers some splendid whitewater.
