Our main trip includes three days of hiking in Lassen Volcanic National Park. For those who can join us, we have an additional day exploring caves in Lava Beds National Monument.
Fri, June 26: Arriving at camp
Our base camp is Lost Creek Group Campground, site #. I recommend taking I5 to Highway 44 and entering the park from the north side; if you enter from Highway 36 on the south side you have significant slow, curvy roads to get to the camp...and we'll drive on much of it during our adventures.
