Devastated Area Interpretive Trail

11/10/22

This is a trail I would take a group of children to for a field trip so they could learn about the last volcanic explosion in Lassen. Each trail marker has handy solar-powered displays with prerecorded history lessons about the event. They do go on for a bit longer than you think so as we walked away we could hear the previous recording droning on. Gave us a bit of a giggle imagining how loud it would be if all of them were playing at once.

Also be sure to have your bear canister to store your food in,...

Lassen Peak

One of my personal favorites and a hidden gem of California that keeps circling my mind is the Lassen Peak Trail.

The air is very thin so, it's best to take your time. The trail hike and switch backs are made worth it b...

Lake Helen in Lassen Volcanic NP

Lake Helen is a glacial lake in Lassen Volcanic NP. The park's winter season starts in October and runs through June. Lake Helen can be found thawing mid-June. The turquoise blue of the water comes from the minerals in it, and is mesmerizingly beautiful when thawing in pools over a snowy Lake Helen.
