The other day brandon and i did two long hikes into the wilderness of lassen. It was perfect, the weather couldnt have been better, it was one of the most beautiful days ive ever seen. Lassen is one of my favorite places to go. It is an active volcanoe, so first we hiked to the top where you can look inside and see the boiling water and sulfurite lava-a must see! It's amazing how it works! Next we hiked down to the most beautiful remote waterfall, you hike about a mile in and the next few miles your hiking downhill with 6-7 waterfalls during your hike..and at the end..a massive bright waterfall!! Hiking is one of our favorite passtimes..but we cant go to lassen anymore because its packed with snow...

so rebellious..i know!
You can see the sulfur flow in the background
this is the pit of the volcanoe!!
(the sign was for another area you can
walk all around down there don'tworry!)


.....................................................................................................
While we were hiking the volcanoe we saaw a black bear!!
we really were only a few feet away from her!!

.....................................................................................................
and we shared our picnic lunch with this squirrel!
(we named him chip)

On our way to kings creek falls..everything's so colorful!
