Below are pictures from our latest trip. Last Wednesday the 13th we drove from Palm Springs to Oregon, and camped near Crater Lake National Park. The 14th we drove around the park and then drove south to Lassen Volcanic National Park, and stayed in the national forest outside the park. The 15th we drove through Lassen and then went down to Yosemite National Park, where we stayed at a KOA for the next two nights. We finally returned home on the 17th. Enjoy the pics!

Sign showing the volcano that formed the lake.
Mac playing in the snow - only half the roads were open because of the snow - the Crater Lake gets 500 inches of precipitation each year.
Arriving at Lassen Volcanic NP.
Mac diving for a stick at our campsite in Lassen Nat'l Forest.
Mt. Lassen - the snow follows the pathe of an avalanche in 1915 that left the ash we are standing on.
From here you can hike to the top of Mt. Lassen - no dogs allowed...
Mt. Shasta - the 2nd highest point in California. We had great views of the mountain for about half our drive.
Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe - Shawn was in the little house on the island on a prior trip.
On Pebble Hill overlooking a pretty lake - this used to be a popular ski area.
Sunset on Hwy 49 - the windiest road ever made - and we're still driving!
Our KOA campsite - kind of like camping in a hole.
