If you've ever wanted to hike close to an active volcano, then this
is your trip! Lassen Volcanic National Park is located in the famous
"Ring of Fire", and is home to all four types of volcanoes, not to
mention boiling lakes, mud pots, fumaroles and hot springs. This park
will surely help you understand that geologic time includes Now! Join
us for a seven day adventure and discover this seldom visited jewel
of the northern Sierra Nevada.
Lakes, lakes and more lakes! Backpack through lush forest and camp
next to a new lake every night. You'll be surprised to day hike over
black and red fields of lava rock that spread out for miles. Climb
to the top of a cinder cone where just 90 years ago the last eruption
occurred! Never fear, for all is quiet now, and it's the perfect time
to visit this wonderland, which is covered in snow 9 months out of
the year. Try your hand at catch and release fishing, or look for
black bear paw prints next to the lakeshore.
Lassen will leave you wanting more than you'll get on this weeklong
adventure.
