Mt. Lassen hiking and camping

Join us for three days of exploring the geology of Lassen Volcanic National Park. We’ve reserved a group site at Lost Creek Group Campground for June 26–30, which accommodates up to 20 people.
We’ll begin accepting RSVPs in late March or early April, but wanted to share the dates now so you can add them to your calendar.
The trip will include three full days of hiking on June 27–29, with plans for:

• A summit hike (about 5 miles with 2,000 feet of elevation gain)
• A hike through the park’s geothermal features
• One additional hike (details to come)

Most hikes will be moderate, though the summit hike is strenuous—it’s a steady climb most of the way up. Participants are welcome to skip any hike they’re not comfortable with, but campsite reservations will be prioritized for those planning to hike on at least two days.
If camping isn’t your preference, there are B&Bs and other lodging options available just outside the park’s north entrance. Those staying off-site are very welcome to join us for the hikes and unwind together around the campfire in the evenings.
We may also add an optional extension to explore Lava Beds National Monument, which would include one half-day and one full day of exploring. If offered, this extension will be listed as a separate trip.
More details about our trips can be found here.
