Lassen Peak, commonly referred to as Mount Lassen, is the southernmost active volcano in the Cascade Range of the Western United States. Located in the Shasta Cascade region of Northern California, it is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, which stretches from southwestern British Columbia to northern California. Lassen Peak reaches an elevation of 10,457 feet , standing above the northern Sacramento Valley. It supports many flora and fauna among its diverse habitats, which are subject to frequent snowfall and reach high elevations. A lava dome, Lassen Peak has a volume of 0.6 cubic miles making it the largest lava dome on Earth. The volcano arose from the destroyed northern flank of now-collapsed Brokeoff Volcano about 27,000 years ago, from a series of eruptions over the course of a few years. Since 25,000 years ago, the mountain has been significantly eroded by glaciers, and it is now covered in talus deposits. On May 22, 1915, a powerful explosive eruption at Lassen Peak devastated nearby areas, and spread volcanic ash as far as 280 miles to the east. This explosion was the most powerful in a series of eruptions from 1914 through 1917. Lassen Peak and Mount St. Helens were the only two volcanoes in the contiguous United States to erupt during the 20th century. Lassen Volcanic National Park, which encompasses an area of 106,372 acres , was created to preserve the areas affected by the eruption, for future observation and study, and to protect the nearby volcanic features. The park, along with the nearby Lassen National Forest and Lassen Peak itself, represent popular destinations for recreational activities including climbing, hiking, backpacking, snowshoeing, kayaking, and backcountry skiing. Lassen Peak is still considered active, and it continues to pose a threat to the nearby area through lava flows, pyroclastic flows, lahars , ash, avalanches, and floods. To monitor this threat, Lassen Peak and the surrounding vicinity are closely monitored with sensors by the California Volcano Observatory.

Cime frastagliate raccontano la storia del suo passato eruttivo mentre l'acqua calda continua a plasmare la terra.

Hiking to Bumpass Hell (in HD)

Bumpass Hell is the largest concentration of hydrothermal features in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. Bumpass Hell was named after an early settler who severly burned a leg after falling into a boiling pool. The hydrothermal features can be reached today from a well-marked 1.5 mile trail that starts from a parking area opposite Lake Helen. A visit to Lassen is not complete without a stop at Bumpass Hell.

The Trail: The trail is quite easy, though the altitude (8,000 feet) can make the trail seem moderately difficult. Hiking boots are recommended as the trail crosses generally rocky land with some tree cover, and without much change in elevation until the 100 foot drop into the thermally active basin. The active area can be seen (and smelt!) from far away - a wide basin filled with various steaming pools and unusual multi-colored soils, stained orange, brown, yellow and green by sulphur and other minerals. Together with the occasional white snow patches, the (usually) deep blue sky and the aquamarine waters, the spectacle is extremely beautiful and colourful.

Eagle Lake/ Lassen County / California / USA

Eagle Lake is a lake at 5,098 ft (1,554 m) elevation in Lassen County approximately 15 mi (24 km) north of Susanville, California. An endorheic alkaline lake, it is the second largest natural lake entirely in the state of California, United States.
Eagle Lake was once part of a large lake on the Modoc Plateau millions of years ago. The modern lake is 15 mi (24 km) long by 1.8–2.5 mi (2.9–4.0 km) wide and is highly alkaline (pH 8-9). The lake consists of three basins, two of them averaging 16–20 ft (4.9–6.1 m) deep, the third averaging 32–65 ft (9.8–19.8 m) and reaching a depth of nearly 98 ft (30 m).

The tributaries of Eagle Lake (beginning in the lake's north end and going clockwise) are Cleghorn Creek, Papoose Creek, Merrill Creek, and Pine Creek. Pine Creek is the main tributary of Eagle Lake and is 39 miles (63 km) long.Now an intermittent stream; only the upper 6.8 miles (10.9 km) of Pine Creek has perennial flow. In 1923 the Leon Bly Tunnel was constructed to export lake water to the Honey Lake Valley via Willow Creek, a tributary of the Susan River. The 2 mi (3.2 km) long tunnel was cut through old lava flows but falling lake levels rendered it useless and a landslide partially blocked the tunnel entrance. However, a 1990 study found that lake water still flows through the tunnel although tunnel fish are from the Willow Creek assemblage.

Mt. Shasta, California: Hiking & Exploring

Mt. Shasta, California is a beautiful place that offers plenty of outdoor activities all year round. I went for a four day trip in the Spring and my favorite part was discovering all the cool hiking spots in the area.

My first hike in the area was Ney Springs Canyon, which is a short and sweet 1.5 mile loop with beautiful views and some cool history! There once was a hotel deep in the canyon back in the late 1800's which served as a health retreat because of the natural mineral water in the area. Ruins of the hotel's stone foundation are still visible today with the words Ney Springs 1898 carved into a cement slab. I was surprised to see that a spigot coming out of the foundation was still leaking water! The hike leads to the beautiful Ney Springs Falls, a raging waterfall in the middle of the forest.

My second hike was at McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park. Although it's located about an hour outside of Mt. Shasta, I still really wanted to check it out. After all, it was a photo of Burney Falls that I came across on Instagram that lead me to Mt. Shasta in the first place! Theodore Roosevelt called it the eighth wonder of the world and it was truly a beautiful sight to see. The falls rage all year round and you will probably find yourself just staring at it in awe for quite some time before continuing on the hike which continues on a loop up and around the falls.

My third hike was Spring Hill, a 2.7 mile loop located right in the city of Mt. Shasta. It's not a difficult hike, but there is a rapid and steep elevation gain at the beginning which will definitely kick your butt. On the way up, you will take in many amazing views of Mt. Shasta. On my second night in town, I drove south and checked out the neighboring city of Dunsmuir. The old rail station is worth checking out and I recommend stopping at the Railroad Car Resort for drinks and dinner. It was here that the bartender gave me the inside scoop about the local cults and legends of Mt. Shasta!

On my third day in town, I drove south and hiked Castle Crags. The trail is difficult and begins with a steep, rapid ascent through thick forest. As soon as I felt like my legs were going to fall off, the forest cleared and there were beautiful views of the crags up above me. I kept going until I reached the end of the hike; a dome that couldn't be safely climbed without climbing gear, so I sat and ate my lunch before heading back down.

On my last night in Mt. Shasta, I hiked Box Canyon trail which begins right by the Box Canyon Dam. The trail passes through a cool old car graveyard in the forest. Apparently back in the 1950's, locals used to push their junked cars down the cliff to dispose of them! On my very last day in Mt. Shasta, I got up super early before the sunrise and drove to Lake Siskiyou. As soon as the sun started poking over the horizon, I got some beautiful photos of Mt. Shasta reflecting off of the peaceful lake.

If you've never been to Mt. Shasta before, I definitely recommend checking it out. Especially if you are a hiking enthusiast!

Wilderness Backpacking Trip: Marble Mountains, Northern California

Mt. Rose Summit Trailhead, An Uphill adventure To The Top

Mount Rose is a gem in the northern Sierra Nevada Range. It rises only a few miles northeast of Lake Tahoe. It is the 2nd highest mountain in the Lake Tahoe Basin and the highest Tahoe Basin peak in Nevada. Standing over 6,300 feet above downtown Reno, the mountain looks daunting, however well-maintained trails starting high up a mountain pass road, cut most of the difficulty for the armchair hiker. For this reason, if you hike the main trail, expect company, lots of company. Not everybody hikes to the top of the mountain. Many just go to the waterfall about 2 1/2 miles up the trail. However, all of the Mount Rose Trail gets crowds all over, every weekend. If you want the mountain to yourself, you are better off hiking during a weekday.
The main trailhead for Mount Rose is at the aptly named “Mount Rose Summit”. This is not the actual summit, but rather the top of a mountain pass along SR 431 which links Reno, Nevada with Lake Tahoe and is a non-highway pass route to California. From Reno take 395 to the Mount Rose Highway (431). Take 431 as it winds up the mountains. The Mount Rose Highway runs for about 20 miles between Reno and Incline Village, and the Mount Rose Summit is about 25 minutes up the road from 395. The Mount Rose Summit Parking Area rests at an elevation of 8,911'.

Hike to the Mt. Rose Summit

The grade becomes steeper when you continue beyond the waterfall, entering the Mt. Rose Wilderness and beginning the final push to Mt. Rose's summit. As you would expect, the views expand with every step. On top, you'll have a 360 degree look for miles, from Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada to the south to the Truckee Meadows and beyond to the north. See how many things you can identify while peering around the compass. You'll be scanning the landscape from an elevation of 10,776 feet.

The trailhead elevation is 8,900 feet. Hikers who make it all the way will have gained 1,876 feet and be standing two miles above sea level. At the conclusion of the return trip, you will have hiked about 10.6 miles.

There is no water beyond the waterfall and meadow. It will be a lot cooler on Mt. Rose than down in Reno, so bring clothing for a crisp day in the mountains and be prepared for sudden changes in weather. Thunderstorms can build up amazingly fast, kicking up wind and causing the temperature to plunge rapidly. If you are high on the mountain when a thunderstorm is brewing, and especially if you see lightning or hear thunder, turn around and head down quickly. The summit will still be there for another try.
Thank you my Amigo Mike Holcomb: An expert hiker and photographer Also Thank you Cooper for the awesome security detail :)
