I initially wanted to climb up Lassen Peak but had to change my plans after learning that the trail was closed for the remaining of the year. Brokeoff Mountain seemed to be an interesting alternative. Less crowded, with great views, and considered to be the most strenuous of the featured hikes in the park, although it is short (7 miles return trip).It did not disappoint. The path goes through various type of...
We arrived pretty late in Lassen Volcanic National Park, but we secured a campsite for the night and decided to get in a quick hike before the sun went down. We barely made it before sunset, but it was definitely worth it. The snow was a bit slippery, but the hot sulfur pools were pretty neat.
David and I woke up early today (6:45) to eat a cold oatmeal breakfast (our stove broke) and pack up our campsite before heading over to Lassen peak. It was pretty cold when we got there, but we knew that we would get warm during out 2000ft elevation gain. The snow was a but slippery, but we managed pretty well. We climbed to the highest point we could and then decended into...
Bumpass Hell is the must-visit area in the whole park. It features very impressive mudpots and hissing fumaroles.While accessible only through hiking, it is an easy 3 miles hike (return trip) very doable with young kids.

We decided to head...

Nice hike to the Devils Kitchen. iphone / GPS was not working well.
Lassen Peak is sooooo crowded!Don't be confused about the two round trips from the lower peak to the real peak. My wife forgot her camelpak on the top stone of the peak, so we have to go back to pick it up! The last segment is kinda tough for many people.
iphone app failed near top of hike. Showing only the very top here.
Short but pretty steep hike to a really nice Lake.

Nice little hike to Terrace, Shadow, and Cliff Lakes. A bit smoky from forest fires nearby. We saw some marmots at Cliff Lake.
