I had a 16X20 of this one made. 

Mt. Lassen

I just got back from a four day camping trip to Mt. Lassen. I had a great time. I hiked a lot, the most strenuous hike was the trip to the peak of Mt. Lassen. That hike was only 2.5 miles each way but the combination of thin air at 10,475' and the very steep trail made it seem much longer. I also hiked out to Bumpass Hell and Echo Lake on separate trips. In between I loafed around Summit Lake Campground and watched the light change on the water. All in all a very nice trip. Below are some of the photos I took on my trip, enjoy! :-) You can click on each photo to see a larger version.

This was my camp at Summit Lake 7,000 feet elevation

I was the first person at the peak that day 

On the way up 

There were flowers all over the park 

Largest mammal I saw on the way up, on the way down I saw quite a few Homo Sapiens.

This is what ornithologists call a "White Bird." Probably not but they could. 

This is the trail about 2/3 of the way up
