Lava Beds and Lassen NP

We recently returned from a trip to see our dear friends in Ashland Ore, and on the way back camped and hiked at Lava Beds National Monument and Lassen National Park. I lost my camera on the trip so borrowed a few generic photos off the internet. In 3 days we hiked 30 miles: 10 in the sweltering heat at Lava Beds, a 10 miler to the top of Brokeoff Mountain (it is what it says, a fragment of a huge volcano that blew out long ago), and a meandering set of hikes that added up to 10 miles. The Lassen Peak trail was closed because of a tragic accident in which a young boy was killed by a rockslide. I also explored a few lava tube caves.
