Today we’re off to explore Lassen Volcanic National Park in northeastern California, one of the best-kept secrets of the National Park system. The centerpiece of the park is Lassen Peak, the largest plug dome volcano in the world and the southern-most volcano in the Cascade Range. Join us as we explore the lush forests, boiling lakes, steaming ground, mud pots and roaring fumaroles. You’ll also discover meadows dotted with wildflowers and clear mountain lakes in a land marked with jagged peaks. How does it all happen? Water from rain and snow that falls on the highlands of the park feed the hydrothermal system. Once deep underground, the water is heated by a body of hot or molten rock beneath Lassen Peak. Rising hot water boils to form boiling pools and mud pots. Super-heated steam reaches the surface through fractures in the earth to form steam and volcanic-gas vents.  Lassen Volcanic National Park offers opportunities to discover the wonder and mysteries of volcanoes for those willing to explore the undiscovered! We’ll have time at the visitors’ center and enjoy a hosted lunch.
