Just back from a few days exploring Lassen National Park with my extended family.  Started with a climb of Lassen Peak (10,400 ft.), which sports views as far as Mt. Shasta.  Then explored some of the many volcanic features – lava flows, fumaroles and bubbling mud, cinder cones, lava tubes (no pictures of the latter.)

The late snows are covering much of the country about 8,000 ft., while the lowlands are beginning to swelter in the summer heat.
