Melanie and I spent a thoroughly enjoyable couple of weeks plus a few days in N.E. California in late August...some very under-appreciated federal lands in the national park system, a bit off the beaten path.
I know that Terri and Jerry Beranek are fond of visiting Lassen, and M and I have been several times to visit. I cannot recommend it more highly. And Lava Beds is volcanism 101. There are over 700 known lava tube caves there, and we explored about a dozen. Lots of fun, weird in the extreme...and very refreshing to spend time at low 50's degrees underground when it's 45 degrees warmer up top .
Here are some pics from Lassen. The log cabin (not the lookout tower) is an old backcountry ranger station. M and I are seriously contemplating seeing if we can arrange to volunteer staff it for a month or more next summer.
Lava Beds to follow.
