Lassen Volcanic National Park is about 50 miles east of Redding, Ca where we are staying. |
The seismograph used in the early 1900's that recorded the volcanic eruption of Mt Lassen. |
The eruption of 1915 was captured by a photographer. The cloud of ash reached 7 miles in the stratosphere. Lassen became a national park in 1916 because of its significance as a volcanic landscape. |
So true... |
Maybe the ranger should have asked if we had snowshoes. |

Even though we were limited in our exploration, it was a beautiful day. You could spend an entire week in this national park. |
View leaving the national park area...maybe we will come back one day. There are suppose to be some killer waterfalls further into the park and about 130 miles of hiking trails yet to explore. |
Looks like it is worth going back one day. can't believe all the snow, but very pretty.
