Two hikes at Lassen Volcanic National Park. One with lots of snow and several lakes, the other with a spectacular waterfall.
Things are pretty crazy at the sulfer works

hiking day 1: Where do you think the trail is?
hiking in snow
snow obscured the trail, so we tried to use the map to make sure we were close
maggie, lane, and courtney having fun in the snow
the first lake we saw was iced over
courtney, meg, and bryan reading the map and surveying the terrain from a high vantage point

clear mountain water
meanwhile, back at the cabin
hiking day 2: it's never a good omen when the trailhead sign is in snow, next to a fallen tree
but the trail was mostly clear
three streams converge at this waterfall
looking for a way to cross
the top of the falls and the river below
