Just back from our end of the season trip to Lassen National Park , this Memorial Day weekend (5/25/2013)
It has been a very low snow year , but 3 1/2 hours north of Sacramento it is still snowy . Today the road to the summit parking lot opened and we were there !
Billy and Rich on the climb up ....
We are heading up to the summit of Lassen Peak and will ski the big bowl in front of us .. .To you some perspective of how big this bowl is ,you can see some specks in the bowl those are climbers going up !
Three quarters of the way up we hike over dry ground the final portion of the ascent ...
Here are Rich and I getting ready to switch over to hiking mode
View out west from the trail ...
Up on the dry trail to the summit ...
Billy and Rich climb up the last bit of rock to the true summit marked by the old Radio repeater reflector ..
I decide to take a rest and forego the last bit of climb over rock having done it before...
Here is our trio of happy guys at Lassen Peak Summit ready to make our last turns of the season ....
I made a little video of our trip and our descent which I will post soon as soon as I finish editing it......
