| View Across Valley |
It was a very good day from start to finish. One of the most pleasant we have had so far. The weather in the park couldn’t have been any better, full sunshine and around 70 degrees. Lassen is beautiful with fantastic alpine scenery, tall pine trees, mountain lakes and meadows. There are actually four volcanoes in the park, with the most recent eruption from Lassen Peak in 1915. The park has a number of active hydrothermal areas and we took a very pleasant hike to Cold Boiling Lake. The lake has a constant bubbling from the release of underground steam.

We changed hotels in order to get to San Jose a little earlier tomorrow, and that worked out really well. After the Lassen hike, we were totally grimy from the grayish volcanic ash content in the dust, but the new hotel had an outdoor pool and the temperature in Red Bluff was around 90, so it was great to hang out in the pool for a bit.
