We headed out of my parent's house around 9 AM
knowing that we would have about a 6 hour drive ahead of us.
We had some stops that we wanted to make along the way,
so we needed to boogie out pretty early.
In an attempt to save driving time, we took a short cut....
a long short cut...
a short cut that we got lost in for no less than an hour.
Oops!
After we got back on track, there really weren't any problems,
and so our first stop (besides lunch) was Burney Falls.
We were at McArthur-Burney for a total of about 1 1/2 hours -
this time includes the hike to the bottom of the waterfall and going to the visitor center.
Because we had such limited time, we quickly gathered back in to the car
and headed off for Lassen National Park.
If you haven't been there,
it's AH-MAY-ZING!
It's probably my favorite state/national park that I have ever been to.
Todd, Alexxa and I had been here before, but we wanted to show Austin our favorite spot.
After about a 2 hour drive we arrived at Bumpass Hell and started our next hike.
Austin creepin' on Lexxa.
Austin caught in the smoke.
The fam bam!
Bumpass Hell view
See the boardwalk, that's where you go.
It's a 3 mile hike round trip, and it took us a total of 2.5 hours.
It didn't take us that long just to hike, but we stayed and explored Bumpass for about an hour.
We left Lassen around 7:30 PM, grabbed some
dinner around 8:30 PM and arrived home around 12:30 AM.
It was an exhausting trip, but very relaxing and totally wonderful.
So have you had a summer vacation?
Was it relaxing?
What did you end up doing?
Oh, psssst...
Happy Weekend!
