Lassen Volcanic National Park

6/24/2015

We spent three nights at Lassen NP. We stayed in Manzanita Lake campground. We drove around the park every day as we explored it. We hiked the three mile out and back to Bumpass Hell, and also to Mill Creek Falls. The trail to Kings Creek Falls was closed for repair. We enjoyed all of the volcanic related features. The park has all four types of volcanoes and some obvious evidence of volcanic activity.

Features not to be missed:

Manzanita Lake, especially with Lassen Peak in the background
Chaos Craigs, where a massive rock slide changed the landscape
Devastated area, where the last eruption removed everything, similar to how Mount St Helens looked
Kings Creek Meadow
Lassen Peak, if you are a serious hiker
Bumpass Hell, the hot springs and mud pots
Mill Creek Falls
