The next day, we were to head to Lassen Volcanic National Park. Lassen peak erupted on May 19, 1915 and again on May 22, 1915 and really devastated the area. After the volcano erupted, the area was made into a national park to be able to study the way the forest rejuvenated itself. After the strenuous hike at Yosemite the day before, we decided to do a moderate 3 mile hike to all of the geothermal activity going on still near the volcano. At one point in the drive to this hike, we were at 8,053ft. elevation!
We stayed in Redding, CA for the night. This was quite nice because we had been staying in a lot of little podunk towns for awhile and it was nice to be back in the city. Haven't even made it back to Minneapolis yet and already I miss Sydney.
