I live near to the beautiful Lassen Volcanic National Park. I have enjoyed the park on many occasions, once I even went snowshoeing in winter at the park. My most recent accomplishment at Lassen was when I hiked to the top of Brokeoff Mountain. The climb was a 3,000-foot progressive hike. The trail was well maintained and beautiful all the way to the top. The climax of course, was the view from the top of Brokeoff Mountain! A wonderful experience for me!
Sincerely,
Lassen Volcanic National Park
Tucked away in far northeastern California, Lassen offers sweeping grandeur and hydrothermal marvels in an uncrowded, contemplative atmosphere. The park is home to more than 40 volcanoes, bubbling mudpots, steaming fumaroles, stunning mountain views and vast, naturally dark skies. The park's namesake peak is the one of the largest plug dome volcanoes in the world — a type of volcano that grows in size from layers of its own lava building on top of each other over time.
State(s): California
Established: 1916
“I love being able to enjoy all National Parks. The land is maintained and the staff must love what they do, which I appreciate. I like being able to go to obscure places too! One of my other favs is Death Valley National Park. I hope to travel to New Mexico and Arizona some day to visit any parks that they have.”

Picking one park that has impacted my life that I want to protect feels like trying to decide which chocolate bar I want at the gas station. They’re all great. I want them all. I chose Acadia because as a kid my father dragged me around to hundreds of national…

Greetings from Crater Lake National Park
I visited Crater Lake for the first time on my honeymoon. Having traveled 2500 miles, I hoped the cost would be worth it. Nothing prepared me for its magnificence. The park was busy on that August day back in 2003. I didn't understand the hushed silence of the crowd standing…

Greetings from Lake Mead National Recreation Area
This is not just for lake mead but also red rock canyon and mount charleston. These are my places of serenity especially growing up fishing hiking and camping in all of them. Then I went to the marine corps in the 2000s and went to Iraq. When I came back…
