Lassen Volcanic National Park, Pt. 7

Last post on Lassen.

The last day: we hiked a bit, ate lunch at Horseshoe Lake, crossed a couple rivers, ambled through the Grassy Swale, and ended up back where we started, Summit Lake.


Trail.


We found an unmarked waterfall along the path. Eric heard it from the path, I checked it out thinking it was just the wind, but then found this little guy. Neat feature: you could jump into the pool in front of the waterfall...


...as my brother shows here.


Kings Creek Meadow. As we drove out of the park, we stopped at a couple places to check out the various views. While taking some landscape photos at this meadow, an osprey suddenly torpedoed into the stream at the right and snagged a fish, all probably no more than 40-50 feet away from us. Craziness. Unfortunately, because it happened so fast, I missed the photo op.


This was the osprey that caught the fish. Although we spent some time waiting around, hoping it would grab another fish, it never really got too close again.


So that's about it for our Lassen trip. Good times.
