Lassen Volcanic National Park

When we arrived there, we noticed there are still snow left in the mountain. And later, we found out some of trails are still closed even though it's in July. It is said that it's due to the heavy snow fall in April ( 17feet) ! We had to give up the Bumpass Hell trail but tried to hike up Lassen Peak ( 10457ft) in stead. Of course, snow was still left in Lassen Peak but we enjoyed hiking in the snow and got much sunburn because of the strong sunshine.

	Like always...hard time to wake up early for Chihiro	still a half sleeping....	trying to roll up the sleeping pad
and let the air out of it...	still struggling on it !

We put snow in the hat to cool down	...to the top !

"The bread is too hard to eat !" said Chihiro
	Sliding down the mountain !
	The sunshine was very strong...	Going to swimming in the lake	but the water in Manzanita lake was bit cold...
