Mt Lassen

Happy Labor Day!

We camped at Mt. Lassen this weekend. The weather was perfect. Here are some pictures of this beautiful volcano and park. You can see Mt Shasta in the distance at the top.

The kids love to climb on rocks. This one was carried 3 miles away from the mountain during the last volcanic eruption. It is called Hot Rock.

We floated on Manzanita Lake. This is where we camped. It was a very relaxing lake.

We tried to see the Muir Woods one Saturday afternoon, but it was too crowded.

So, we headed for the coast and found a great secluded beach.

It was a 1.5 mile hike down, but well worth it.

We played in the water and sand, saw the tide pools, and enjoyed the scenery.

Then we went back to Muir Woods after the crowds left.

Here we are at the top of the hike looking down to the water.

It was chilly up there.

Abby loved the beach!

Bonus: A petting farm right next to the beach! This place has it all!
