| no partners | | | It's very smoky in Redding right now from the surrounding fires, but we were able to escape to Lassen where it was much more clear. We got out a little late and decided to hike the Bumpass Hell trail. Temperatures were about 10-15 degrees cooler than Redding which was fantastic, and we hiked slightly past the geothermal springs at Bumpass Hell to escape the crowd and get a nice view from a higher vantage point. We noticed some dark clouds appearing from the North before we began our hike back. I was not expecting any rain, but we ended up in an awesome sun shower and soon we were getting pelted by small hail. It made for an exciting route back, occasionally hiding under trees to avoid the sting from the hail--while it was somehow still sunny in the late afternoon. The weather let up in about 10 minutes and we finished the hike back to the car. Hoping to hike up Lassen Peak next time we're up there and it's clear. |
