Lassen National Park with add on

20.5 miles of hiking • 15250' elevation gain •

Had a fantastic trip in Lassen National Park after it was clear that Yosemite would be too hot. Hiked up high early in the day and sat in lakes all afternoon. We explored King Creek Falls area. Stunning alpine meadows feet from the trail head. Summited Brokeoff Mountain. Of course the view is great, but the approach through the meadows and tarns was amazing. And of course we had to climb Mt. Lassen. Short trail, lots of eg. The trailhead starts at above 8500!!! On the way home we stopped off at Heart Lake and Castle Lake. Both warm enough to swim in.
