Lassen Volcanic National Park: A Complete Hiker's Guide 0004 Edition

0.0

The guide to the hikers' paradise of Lassen Volcanic National Park--with its still-active geologic wonders, wildflower-carpeted meadows, forest-rimmed lakes, crystalline streams, and view-packed summits--has been completely updated and expanded, with new trips, photos, and maps to complement the user-friendly design of the popular Wilderness Press National Park series. Revamped by veteran Wilderness Press author Mike White, this comprehensive guide features 95 dayhike and backpack trips to popular sites such as Lassen Peak and Bumpass Hell and little-known backcountry gems like the Bucks Lake Wilderness Loop. Not only does this book describe trips to gorgeous vistas like the Thousand Lakes Valley or intriguing volcanic features like the remnants of ancient Mt. Tehama and the bubbling mudpots of Sulphur Works, it includes walks through history along the Nobles Emigrant Trail, which was used by early pioneers seeking riches in gold and timber. Also included are trips into regions surrounding the Park, including the Hat Creek Recreation Area, greater Susanville-Chester area, Warner Valley, Butte Lake, and Drakesbad regions, McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, plus the Thousand Lakes, Caribou, Ishi, and Bucks Lake wilderness areas. Includes the popular "Lassen Scenic Byway Road Log," keyed to the Park's roadside markers and points of interest. There are more than 150 miles of hiking trails within the park, and the trails in this book range from a simple, 0.2-mile stroll through Sulphur Works to a strenuous 19.3-mile loop in the remote eastern part of the Park.
