With John Soares as your expert guide, Day Hiking Mount Shasta, Lassen & Trinity Alps Regions offers you plenty of options, whether you want to backpack to an appealing alpine lake in the Trinity Alps or stroll past bubbling mud pots and steaming fumaroles at Bumpass Hell in Lassen Volcanic National Park.
