  • I can’t express enough how awesome Cinder Cone is. It was brutal as hell to get up, but it’s one of my favorite hikes of any National Park I’ve been to and I rarely hear people talk about it!
  • @intreoo
    Lassen would've definitely been one of California's most famous national parks with the volcanos, geothermal activity, and general Californian Alpine Nature all in one if it was more south, but hey, hidden gems are called gems for a reason.
  • I live in Sacramento and have always wondered what Lassen would be like. After watching this video makes me want to go now. I just did S. Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay a couple weeks ago. So far it’s been a beautiful fall in Cali. Take care. Keep the outdoors motivating.

    I was there in 1966, an Old Man told us about seeing it erupt from San Francisco; after his stint in the Great War he hiked to the top with a group. He said there were a lot of geysers and fumerals active in the crater. He also told us about enjoying the San Francisco Earthquake and the clean up & rebuilding. When I was there in 1966 there were still a lot of broken trees from the 1915 eruption.

    Camping and boating in Summit lake is an amazing experience too.
  • @michaelb1761
    Summit Lake to Echo Lake and then Twin Lakes is my favorite day hike. The Twin Lakes have some nice sandy shores to relax at before heading back.
  • @LukeGeeTravels
    These are perfect! I’m taking my mom to California for Mother’s day, she will love it!
  • I live in chester ca, just down the hill from lassen and right on lake almanor. My family and i go up to lassen at least 3 times a year. We love taking our dinner up to lake Helen and backcountry snowboarding in the winter. Its nice to see someone taking an interest in the area and making lassen Park more popular!
  • I never knew that there was that much to do at Lassen. It will definitely be on the list the next time that I am in North California. Thank you so much for sharing. Peace and Safe Travels.
  • Just got back from a day trip to hike the peak! Went when I was 7/8 yrs old. After doing the peak for the first time I cant wait to revisit these other great places and see new ones
  • @TheDenisedrake
    Fabulous! We went there for the first time 2 weeks ago and are planning on going back. Thanks for the tips.
  • @biophile2
    The hike from Butte Lake to Widow Lake is spectacular.
  • Thank you so much for this fabulous video! Very helpful for a trip I'm planning with my sons next year. I now know the places we'll plan to visit within Lassen Volcanic National Park. And I also now realize I need to increase my workouts and endurance level to be able to keep up with my early-20s sons. :)
  • I visited lassen about 20 years ago with my brother who lives in cal’ - I would love to see pics of the campgrounds - we stayed for a few days - hiked serious back country - awesome
  • After watching this video it made me want to go to Lassen one last time before it was snowed out. I even made a video on it. Every bodies hike is different. Thanks for the inspiration.
  • @photofire100
    Thank you for another fun and interesting video. Your knowledge of the places that you visit and your narration is superb. Thank you very much again. We'll try to make it there soon.
  • I visited Lassen and did some hiking years ago. Got one odd the worst sunburns of my life. Also got some great photos of mountain lakes along the way. I really need to get back out that way again and give it further exploration.
  • Visited Lassen in July 2010. A really great experience, but still a lot of snow, so Bumpass Hell was a no go.
