Becky and I took a weekend trip to Lake Almanor and Lassen Volcanic National Park for our anniversary in November of 2004. We stayed in a cutesy little country cabin right on the lake. Luckily we didn't stay long enough for the country decor to rub off on us. |

Here is a nice view from the boat ramp in front of our cabin. Nice crisp morning air and a gorgeous view, what more could you possible need? Ok, so a cup of coffee would have been awesome but we headed out for breakfast soon after. |

A quick drive to Lassen Volcanic National park found that all the roads in the park were closed due to deep snow cover. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let us go play in the Jeep so we had to park and hike. I was looking forward to a little 4*4 snow time, guess that will wait for another trip. The snow was a couple of feet deep in most places with some good sized drifts. |

In this view you can see one of the many boardwalks that are scattered throughout the park. Note the amount of snow on the boardwalk. You can also see steam rising from one of the many hissing fumaroles and boiling mud pots that dot the landscape. Mmmm, love the smell of sulfur in the morning! |

There were also several hydrothermal springs cascading down the hills
melting the snow.
