We visited Lassen Volcanic National Park again. The main visitor center was closed, but the museum was open, so we went there first:
And unlike last time, the road through the park was open, so we enjoyed the sights:
The Sulphur Works area was like a tiny Yellowstone. I know many people don’t like the sulphur smell, but we enjoy it, probably thanks to that association (and with Rotorua in New Zealand):
It was nice to be able to see more of the park this time.
While staying at Heritage RV Park, we took an hour drive to Lassen Volcanic National Park.
We’ve been to this park before, but wanted to visit again, even though the park is closed at present, other than the visitor centers at a couple of entrances. If nothing else, it was an enjoyable drive.
For example, here’s a viewpoint on the way to Lassen:
Getting closer to the park, we saw some burnt trees:

After going out of the park, we headed northwards, through a tiny town named Manton, which made me think of the creator of the Micro.blog service, Manton Reece:
A couple of narrow bridges:
Small town Halloween; they were holding traffic to enable the kids to safely cross the highway:
