Helen and I visited Lassen park during the 4th of July.  We had planned to go camping, but it turned out to be impossible to get a camp ground.  I have visited previously during Labor Day and it had been no issue to get camp grounds then.  I guess you always learn something new.  Well, we found a place to stay.  Because we could not find a campground we found another great place to visit - Burney Falls.  We had no plans to visit it, but we ended up driving by it, and when we stopped there, we got a very pleasant surprise.

Bumpass Hell is another place with even more volcanic activity

Another view from Bumpass Hell

Yet, another view at Bumpass Hell.  It is close to other vegetation as can be seen

Yes, these are gasses from the ground

You walk on bridges to preserve the area and to protect your from the heat.

Here it is - Burney Falls - our big surprise.

It is almost too easy to get to this fall, but it is nice

Here we hiked to the bottom of the fall.
