We are about to embark on our latest National Park adventure. This year we will visit Lassen Volcanic National Park in northeastern California. We hope to hike as much as the weather and my lung capacity will allow. There are rain, possible snow showers, as well as sun in the forecast!
The photo above does not do justice to the entire area but you can get further info and pictures here and the history of volcanoes in the area here.
I was inspired to go to Lassen by a book, of course. Nevada Barr's fourth mystery, Firestorm, was set there. Finally we will see it in real life without the wild fires and blizzards that feature in the book.
I will be back to my blog and yours later next week.
Enjoy your vacation!
ReplyDeleteThank you. We are back and it was fabulous!
DeleteBeautiful!! Enjoy your time there :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Esther. We did!
DeleteI'm envious. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh my, Dorothy. It was quite amazing!
DeleteLassen Volcanic National Park looks like a great place to visit. Have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteWe are trying to get to all the National Parks in California and the West. This time we learned about volcanoes in California!
Deletehave fun! Ms. M walked up Mt. Lassen a few years ago... she says it was an amazing place!
ReplyDeleteWait, what? She hiked all the way to the peak? It is an amazing place but that is one hike we did not do. We went to the trail head though. My speed was to hike around a lake.
Deleteshe drove to the parking lot and the trail left from there... she says there was a sort of bomb-shaped metal gadget up on the top... she said it didn't seem too arduous...
DeleteGood for her!
DeleteHave a great trip, Judy! That sounds like a fascinating place to visit.
ReplyDeleteHelen, it was one of the more fascinating places I have been. So happy we went!
DeleteHave a wonderful time Judy!!! It'll be beautiful I'm sure. I have been to Yosemite but I have not been to Lassen. Enjoy the elements!
ReplyDeleteIt was so great! You must go to Lassen!!
DeleteI hope you have a lovely trip, Judy. Look forward to hearing about your adventures. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jessica. It was both lovely and adventurous!
DeleteEnjoy your vacation!
ReplyDeleteWe did. Beautiful and awe-inspiring place.
DeleteJudy, do have a wonderful time. I do hope the weather cooperates.
ReplyDeleteWell there was snow the first night but sun and clear skies the second day. We had one our best National Park experiences so far.
DeleteI hope this trip has been absolutely the greatest for you, what fun. The photos are beautiful, I can't wait to hear more about your trip!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great magical time for both of us!
