My bucket list is to visit all 59 US National Parks. So far, we've visited over 30... here's one of them.

Lassen National Park is up there with the newest national park, Pinnacles, as most obscure in California. This park used to be a volcano that went off in the not-so-far past. Lassen boasts mountains, lakes, and thermal features. Go in the winter for less crowds and lots of #snow!

My first time visit to Burney Falls in Northern California and I was amazed that I had never heard about it before. What a beautiful waterfall and the walk along the river, from Middle Falls to Lower Falls is truly enjoyable.
