Mt. Lassen Camping Trip

Last spring Nate started talking about wanting to go up to our local volcano, Mt. Lassen. We followed the online progress of the snowplows till the road was open and then just got busy with other things... A week or so ago Nate reminded us that he was back in school and we had told him that we would go to Mt. Lassen sometime during the summer. He was declaring that summer was over and we needed to uphold our end of the deal... So we packed up the trailer and headed up the hill from Chico...



We camped for the weekend at High Bridge campground... It is a great place, right on a creek that flows by the only campsite for a hundred yards or so...

It was one of my (brian's) favorite trips of recent memory. We had a ton of fun hiking through the National Park and enjoying the bubbling mud and steam pits. On Friday night we hiked a couple of miles to Boiling Springs Lake, which is an entire lake that is boiling. On Saturday we hiked 3 miles to Bumpass Hell which is a collection of geysers and boiling mud pits... Nate thought it was one of the cooler things around...
