Lassen Volcanic National Park

Kings Creek Falls Trail

Over the weekend my husband and I went to camp at Manzanita Lake in Lassen. Lassen Volcanic National Park is located in Northern California, just 70 miles south of Mt. Shasta. I have visited this park in winter and most of the road through the park is closed due to snow. I was excited when my husband an I planned this trip because we have never been to Lassen in the summer. Wow! I can say that Lassen is absolutely gorgeous. There is still a little snow about 8,000 ft of elevation and with the lush vegetation leaves for amazing views to anyone that visits. There are so many places to explore and I could not see them all, but there's always next time. I'm going to share with you pictures of the Kings Creek Falls, Bumpass Hell and Cinder Cone trails. The road throughout the park is only 30 miles long so many trips could be planned in one day depending on what you would like to see. If you ever have a chance to visit Lassen I highly recommend it!

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy!

Forever wander,
