MEDICINE LAKE & GLASS MOUNTAIN
In the warmer months, feel free to go up and visit the beautiful Medicine Lake, or even the nearby lakes surrounding it, such as Bullseye, Little Medicine, or even Payne Springs. They're great places for fishing, and even better for day trips.
Nearby to the lakes is the Jot Dean Ice Cave. It's a beautiful cave that contains an amazing sheet of perpetual ice. Be sure to bring company though, and be safe and courteous, like with all caves.
You can take a drive to visit Glass Mountain. Glass Mountain is a rhyolite and dacite obsidian flow. It's one of Modoc National Forest's unique geological features. You can walk atop the flow and explore the various views it hosts, or examine the interesting obsidian rocks. If you're lucky, you might even find some mahogany obsidian.
