What a beautiful park ... with its tall trees, rugged rocks and mountains. Lassen awakens your senses in the morning at sunrise. This is the view on the eastern slope of Mount Lassen, with Reading Peak on the right side in the middle-ground. The sun is winking out from the clouds, giving definition and form to the landscape.

The sunset comes early where Kings Creek winds its way through the Upper Meadow. Surrounded by volcanic mountains, Kings Creek and the Upper Meadow are radiant as the warm sun illuminates them, just prior to dipping behind the peaks. What a wonderful way to end the day at Lassen.

This is a beautiful crystal clear glacial lake in California's Lassen Volcanic National Park. When the light is right, you can see into its depths. In this photo Lake Helen is in the foreground ... with Lassen Peak in the center, Eagle Peak on the left and the base of Mount Helen on the right in the background. The clear water of Lake Helen gives the illusion that the reflections of the peaks are rising up from the bottom of the lake. The lake is named after Helen Tanner Brodt, who in 1864 was the first woman to reach the summit of Lassen Peak.
