Summary:
The guide to the hikers' paradise of Lassen Volcanic NationalPark--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.
