For our next adventure in Redding we headed to Lassen Volcanic National Park, which is a brand new park for us! We spent the day exploring the park during the shoulder season (April) and while most of the park was closed, the views were still incredible and we had a blast seeing the park with snow and wayyy less people. We already cannot wait to come back in the summer someday to see the rest of it!

You came at the perfect time. We got about a foot or more of snow this past week… Come back to Redding and Lassen Park. If you do, check out Hat Creek and spend some time fishing in Old Station.

@annafoster8795 2 года назад

Yay, I just found your channel and I've lived in Redding almost all my life! You need to check out the little town called “old shasta” in the summer it has lots of cool history and sights

@Halfpace52 2 года назад

I watched many adventure videos but I really enjoying watching your. As a hiker, backpacker, and adventure traveler, I appreciate in depth information. And you two are super cute couple.

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

Thank you so much! That means a lot and thanks for watching!

@guadalupeknippen528 2 года назад

You two are so adorable. You bring me happiness. Time spent with you is so lovely and calming. It's like you are the best tour guides I've ever watched without being the typical tour guides, does that make sense? Oh well.... you're great an always a pleasure to watch. 🙏❤️🐕🇺🇸

@redbluffman3278 2 года назад

Yes, you have to come visit in the summer and see Bumpass Hell, climb Lassen Peak and hike the Kings Creek Trail to the waterfall. Absolutely breathtaking! Also I wish that you could’ve seen it 2 years ago before the Dixie Fire burned 60% of the park. My little ID picture here has always been a little shot from the first snow one year from behind the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center.

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

We are very excited to visit again in the summer one day. Lassen looked so beautiful

@cgamiga 2 года назад

I'm glad my family visited before the fires too, so sad to see the news... hope it's recovered. We need to come back again to do Bumpass Hell... is Subway caves open, or closed from fire? PS like your tag, we visited Red Bluff a LOT as we had to supercharge our Tesla there for visit... Redding one isn't open yet...

@MrRobertoa1 2 года назад

I can't wait to see the Redwoods National Park. It's beautiful 😍. It's on my bucket list of places to go. I will get there soon.

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

@jonathantower 2 года назад

Thanks for this! I really need an escape to somewhere beautiful today, and the enthusiasm and positivity with which you present your adventures is infectious in the best possible way. Besides Lassen, I didn’t know all the other beautiful places there were to see around Redding. Adding it to my list, for sure.

@cgamiga 2 года назад

Check out Mt Shasta and Lake Siskiyou bit farther (1hr) north! Mini-Tahoe!

@leslielarsonandrus 2 года назад

Beautiful!!! We camped at Lassen and collected our biggest pine cones there!! 24 inches was our biggest!! I absolutely loved Avenue of the Giants (Redwood Forest) and Founders Forest is the trail left untouched. The worlds tallest tree fell there I believe in 1991? You see uprooted trees just unbelievable! Can't wait for your next video!

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

That little dance at the end about Target was hilarious. Laughed at that one, out loud! Too funny. I have been to Lassen and have seen what you didn't. Yes, go back but you seem to say that about everything you saw in California and even other places. Way I see it, you need to live at least two lives to get back to where you want.

Lassen Peak was my favorite part of the Park. Bumpass Hell is amazing but if you've been to Yellowstone it just can't compete. I also enjoyed being alone in the Warner Valley on the way to Devil's Kitchen. Nice solitude and beauty even during high season.

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

I’d be concerned about the smell making me too nauseous. How crazy to see both hot thermal pools and snow. And those mountains. Even though you didn’t see all of the park, looks like it amazing.

That's one place I never made it to when I lived in Oregon. Need to add it to my list to visit some day. The Redwoods are amazing. Also, so many cool places to explore once you make it to Oregon. Crater Lake Nat Park, Bend, John Day Fossil Beds, or any place along the Oregon coast. I haven't been in Oregon or Northern California for 30 years and I miss the natural beauty of the area. I'm looking forward to your future videos. Safe travels and thank you again for sharing your experiences. Now I've got to give that curry recipe a try....!

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

The curry is so easy and delicious! We’re excited to be back in this area to see new places to us and revisit some spots we’ve been to! We won’t be able to see it all, but we’ll thoroughly enjoy what we do get to see. Thanks, John!

@cgamiga 2 года назад

Great visit and photography, and detailed explanations re sulfur works etc! yeah, I was happy to be wearing covid mask for that, helped reduce the smell :) Very cool tidbit about camping in the parking lot during winter! There are GORGEOUS lakes (Emerald and Helen etc) higher up along hwy 89 thru the park (and Summit farther along), but closed during winter/spring... pretty w/ snow and ice, even in May... note, that portion of hwy 89 has 8000' elevation; I got altitude sickness- so drink more water & be mindful! Bumpass Hell trail was still snowed in and wasn't open previous Memorial Day, so need to visit later in summer... despite it being 103F in Redding at the time..

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

Thanks, Colin! Good to know about the elevation!

@barbaramadson3538 2 года назад

I'm headed up to camp at Manzanita Lake in Lassen in Sept. I was only able to secure campground reservations in Yosemite for 3 days rather then the 5 I had planned on, so based on your prior video, I plan to head into Redding to explore for two days before heading to Lassen. Thanks for your fun and informative videos!

@robertevans428 2 года назад

I lived in Susanville in 1961-'63 and I can see from your video that things have really changed up there, especially at Manzanita Lake. First of all, the road wasn't plowed in the winter and there was no "formal" trail around the lake, let alone picnic tables. Thanks a bunch for the update.

@nationalparksprincess3216 2 года назад

I love this park so much, so happy you got a chance to visit with so little people there. When you go back definitely get Bumpass Hell in, it's beautiful! My friend and I try to go once a year to do a trail in the park. Last year we were going to to Devils Kitchen, but the fires in the area made it not an option. We are going to try to do it this year in June. Check into that hike for when you make it back. Also, wanted to add, Lava Beds NM is about 2 hours north, and it is so much fun doing some of the caves in that park, it's definitely a hidden gem and caving there is an absolute blast!

This park is a gem and one of the prime reasons we live in Redding. Sadly much of it was affected by last year's Dixie Fire. Haven't gotten to see some of our favorite places there since, as they closed the Park for the winter as the fire wound down. Fortunately many of the main points of interest should be unaffected, but the stunning views of forests extending out toward Lake Almanor have been lost for a generation or two.

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

It is sad to think of what was lost. But thankfully it’s a large park and there is still tons of gorgeous sights to see! Thanks for watching!

@WhenAdventureKnox 2 года назад

This place is amazing. Some real Yellowstone and Iceland vibes coming from it for obvious reasons! Getting to stay at the parking lot in the park was very cool for you both. I've stayed at the permanent tented campsite in Yosemite (back then it was Curry village, but I think the name has changed) and have done a couple of different cabins in Yellowstone, and being inside the park really is the best as adventures can begin so early. You guys picked a perfect spot for your curry dinner, though it was weird seeing snow on the other side of the lake and Kathryn, you sat in a tank top in the sun. The shot of the goose with its wings out was amazing, and the montage with just the nature sounds was so calming! Easy to get those sounds when you've only come across 10 other people in the park - benefits of shoulder season I guess! 🥳 Just catching up now on your videos as we get a 4 day bank holiday weekend over Easter (so Good Friday and Easter Monday off work for most people) and naturally we took advantage of this.

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

Yes we got Yellowstone vibes too! We can’t wait to go back to Yellowstone again! The contrast of snow and tshirts and tank tops is always odd to the eyes 😂 Lassen was an amazing place! We hope you had a great holiday!

@benchrist2840 2 года назад

Enjoy Redwoods SP/NPs! We had great visits there recently too! Make sure to see Lady Bird Johnson trail/loop.. and north in Elk Meadow, do GREAT short Trillium Falls trail!! Amazing trees and nice little falls. Drury Scenic Parkway was pretty side-cut from 101 to see yet more redwoods. Jedediah Smith farther north has some more nice ones as well.. we took short detour to OR border, but was too late to hit Natural Bridges scenic spot, make sure you hit that on the way north! are you also driving bit south to Avenue of the Giants on 101? Tons of great little groves and hikes and trees and stops. On the way back south, are you going thru Ft Bragg & Mendocino and parts of Hwy 1? It is a bit tight/windy road from 101 at Leggett to hwy 1, but SUCH gorgeous scenery south on 1... check out Laguna Pt beach, and south Pt Cabrillo lighthouse. If you go back toward 101, Hwy 128 east thru Navarro River SP is simply gorgeous and even more redwoods, then pretty ranches.

We were able to visit several of these suggestions, but some we just didn’t have time for. We’re editing our Redwoods video now and it will be out soon. Thanks for all the tips, Colin!

I visited the park back in October 2020. It was beautiful! And off season as well so pretty empty. Bumpass Hell is defiantly worth revisiting for! its pretty amazing.

@mindiwilhelm4322 2 года назад

Was it cold in October? Any snow?

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

We’re very excited to come back in a different season to see what we missed!

@pamgonzales9030 2 года назад

@@mindiwilhelm4322 It was perfect temp, around 60. No snow, it was a year that was very very dry. At the time all those really bad fires were happening around California and Oregon (I guess that's almost every year now though) I highly recommend visiting the park, its beautiful and as mentioned in the video, Redding is so close and there's so much to do in the area in general.

Beautiful guys! We went to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park during our Oregon road trip in November of last year. If that's were you're heading next it's a beautiful area!

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

We were just there! We love that area! Thanks, David!

@hedycohen9804 2 года назад

Hopefully you can come back and hike Bumpass Hell. The hot springs are beautiful. Unfortunately, the park road is only open for only a short window of time each season. We went in July 2012. I am sure the crowds will be much crazier now. Thanks for sharing what you were able to explore.

If you haven't been to Banff in Alberta you need to go. Sooooo many hiking trails. Go to the visitor center in the town of Banff and they have tons of maps with people to help you decide. I recommend the town of Canmore and the drive to the south through a couple provincial parks.

We live a few miles outside the Manzanita lake side. We’re glad you enjoyed Lassen Park. This has been a dry year and you visited when we had very little snow. On the bright side the park was open because it closes during strong storms. We enjoyed these two videos on our area.

In trip planning mode for our 2023 California, Oregon and Washington road trip (from western PA) and I am taking notes in my rocket book while watching your videos. Much as I did for our last fall trip to South Dakota, Montana, etc.; your hiking tips were so helpful, and, like you, we travel with our dog so we have limits. We intend to be doing the Alaska drive in either 2024 or 2025 (my husband started racing asphalt circle track, winning Rookie of the Year at 60 years old, so our travels are currently shoulder season). Thank you for taking us along, your content is some of the best. Where did you get your National Parks checklist?

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

The checklist is included in the Kit on this blog post: adventuresofaplusk.com/blog/our-must-have-gear-for-van-life/ We’re so glad we could be helpful! That’s our number one goal! Wow way to go with Rookie of the Year! Impressive!
