Happy Friday!

Today I’m updating my National Parks bucket list since we visited Lassen Volcanic National Park on our trip last week.

First, we stopped at Manzanita Lake and walked all the way around it, then hiked the Kings Creek Falls Trail, and lastly, we hiked down to Bumpass Hell (see photos…that’s where all the hot steam comes out). There were warning signs to stay on the path, so we wouldn’t end up like Mr. Bumpass who had to get his leg amputated because of burns he’d received from falling through. We were, of course, very careful to do so!

We’re up to 19 out of 63. Many more to go!
