An icy lake near the summit may not be icy long. The air temperature was 70 degrees!
A crystal clear creek meanders through a meadow.
Fire and ice!
Picnic in the snow anyone?
Just 45 or 50 miles north of Lake Almanor is an alpine wonderland. Snow capped Mount Lassen looms high on the horizon at 14,450' above sea level. The volcano last erupted in 1915. Since that time, the forest has recovered, and trees, meadows and streams welcome visitors.
We drove halfway through the park to Summit Lake and stopped at several scenic spots along the way. The road through the park only reopened in late July. Ice and snow keep it closed most of the year.
