3-Day Adventure Through The Fire and Water of Northern California: Lassen Volcanic National Park and Burney Falls
The first time I ventured into Lassen Volcanic National Park, I was immediately struck by the raw and untamed beauty of this volcanic landscape. The park is a geological wonder, filled with steaming fumaroles, bubbling mud pots, and towering peaks shaped by ancient eruptions. As I hiked through the park, I was constantly reminded of the powerful forces that have shaped our planet. I remember standing at the edge of Bumpass Hell, the park's largest hydrothermal area, watching the steam rise from the boiling springs and feeling the heat radiate from the ground beneath my feet. It was a humbling experience, a reminder of the earth's incredible power and the ever-changing nature of our world. A short drive from Lassen Volcanic National Park took me to Burney Falls, a place that felt like the polar opposite of the volcanic landscape I had just explored.
