Woke up in Nevada but then crossed the border into California and headed for Lassen Volcanic Park. Here volcanic history has occurred within the last 100 years and photos document the 1914-15 eruptions. Geothermal features such as mudpots, geysers, and fumaroles dot the landscape. It’s a lot like Yellowstone but not so crowded. We particularly fell in love with Emerald Lake. As we left the park we drove through an area that was undergoing a controlled burn. That evening as we drove to Klamath Falls we marveled at the beauty of snow covered Mount Shasta.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Another beautiful set of pictures, especially the one with the sunlight filtering through the trees!
