Lassen Volcanic NP, CA

We've spent the past four days in Red Bluff, CA and enjoyed driving up to Lassen Volcanic NP 2 of those days to explore some of the park.

This beautiful park includes several volcanos.  The largest, Mt. Lassen, experienced a series of eruptions in 1914-15 making in the only other volcano in the US to have erupted in the 20th century.  The park offers beautiful mountain scenery, manzanita covered meadows, fumeroles, mud pots and hot springs! We did some great hikes but have plenty more to do next time through this area:)
