There is always a first time for everything, and today was the first time we have ever been in shorts and sandals with snow over our heads on July 27th....elevation over 8,500 feet.
We didn't know just what to expect at Lassen NP, but saw some beautiful scenery. Lassen Peak was very barren, and was still covered with a lot of snow in many places. People were walking through snow on nearby trails....that wouldn't be us in our sandals!
As we were coming down the winding mountain road with NO guardrails, we came to a geo thermal area beside the road. It was so interesting to see smoldering hot liquid and a cold mountain stream just feet away.
Our tour of the Northwest National Parks has been a wonderful experience for us. Each park has it's own uniqueness and beauty. We have so much to be thankful for, and thank God every day for all He has given to us.

Oops.....another mountain, another place...sorry!!
If you look closely, you will see Ethan trying to get out of the snowbank to use the potty....nothing like a COLD seat!!!!
