Cinder Cone, Lassen Volcanic National Park
I was looking back at my Lassen trip photos and had some fond memories of this hike. This view really shows how steep this climb is on the way to the top. I am not ashamed to say that it kicked my butt. What made the hike worse was the cinder on that trail that we had to move through. It was really loose and it seemed like every twelve inches that you went up, you slid back down six.
I'm really glad that I persevered and made it to the top. The view is truly amazing once you get there. You have a 360 degree view of the area. You can see first hand how the volcanic activity formed the land features here.
