Pics from hiking Mt Lassen.

Me and a buddy decided to go hike a local Mt. yesterday, it is only a 2000 ft elevation gain but it was still fun, great view. I have always wanted to do it and yesterday I just said screw it and i'm going. The top is just over 10,000 ft. It made me set my eyes on the other Mt. in the area, Mt. Shasta. That is gonna be a 2 day hike but it is gonna be fun. Here are some pics, the pictures dont do it justice. There were people from all over, people drove from Florida and I think there were some people from sweden it sounded like, and another couple that hiked the wrong Mt., they made us laugh a little.

A view from the bottom


A view about midway up


I think the next 2 are from about 3/4 way up




All the snow in the crater at the top


We had to hike down through all this, pretty slick and pretty fun


Hiked up this ridgeline to get to the west side of the peak

Looking straight down into a crater


My buddy



Me, and you know I had to represent the Toyota t-shirt

This little guy was kinda chasin us away from this spot, so I tried to get a close up

 

that looks really high for 2k feet

 

wow. That looks awesome. Great pics. Wish there was something around here like that so I could do it.

 

Bottom to top is a 2k foot rise... that is not the overall elevation from the peak.

 

Drive the truck up

 

yea i was going to say b/c my bro and i climbed some blue ridge mointains to an elevation of 3200 feet tallest peak in around a 50 mile radius, it was a 2200 foot climb from the valley still didnt look as high

 

Ya it was over 10,000ft at the top, I wanted to drive the truck, dont know if it woulda made it, a lot of loose rock up there.
