THIS PARK IS IN NORTHEASTERN CALIFORNIA AND IT HAS MANY VOLCANIC ROCKS. IT IS A PARK THAT HAS MANY INTERPRETERS FOR THE PUBLIC. WE HAVE CAMPED HERE SEVERAL TIMES. THERE ARE HYDROTHERMAL GEYSERS THERE WITH HOT POOLS SO THEY REQUEST EVERYONE STAY ON THE TRAILS. YOU CAN GO TO A PLACE WHERE THERE ARE MANY GEYSERS AND IT SMELLS LIKE SULPHUR.
THE PARK WAS HOME TO FOUR NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES. THE PEAK VOLCANO ERUPTED LAST IN 1915. IT IS QUITE AN UNUSUAL PARK FOR THE AREA. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT TRAILS THAT WE HAVE HIKED BUT WE HAVE NOT GONE UP TO THE MOUNTAIN. IN WINTER IT DOES GET QUITE A BIT OF SNOW AND WAS STILL OPEN WHEN THEY DECIDE TO PLOW THE ROADS.
IT IS VISIBLE AS WELL AS MOUNT SHASTA FROM HIGHWAY 5 MANY MILES SOUTH OF THE PARK. THE INTERPRETORS TALK ABOUT THE ANIMALS THAT FREQUENT THE PARK AND GIVE CAMPFIRE SLIDE SHOWS AS WELL ABOUT NATURE AND THE PARK.
