Lake Almanor is part of the Mount Lassen area of California. We decided to check out Lassen National Park and the "largest boiling lake in the United States." It was a nice hike among the pine trees, even though at times I found the forest area a bit creepy.
Along the hike are a few small streams from natural springs. This one was surprisingly HOT - almost scalding. Down in the valley is a small resort with a hot spring-heated pool. This small stream could easily heat a pool - yikes!
Landon and Luci - the two littlest ones - taking a bit of a break in the shade. Luci had a little "crush" on Jayden last year and she picked right up where they left off this year. However, but by the middle of the week, her crush had transferred to Landon. I think Jayden was a little bit jealous. It was cute.
At the top of the hike you can see Mount Lassen, which I failed to get in the shot, but the view was spectacular. (Jeremy, Dallin, Katie, and Landon with the Boiling Lake behind them.)
Leon took up the challenge to throw rocks down to the lake. Just offshore was a small mud island that was too tantalizing. The resulting "splooshy plop" the rock made was very satisfying.
