Snow shoeing & caving on Mt Lassen

Due to scheduling snaffus and poor weather, we had to postpone a couple snow-bound trips this winter. Finally, in late April, we were able to make it work.

We drove half-way to Mt Lassen on a Friday, spent the night in tents in a campground in the warm and dry valley, then made our way up the mountain the next morning to find the snow.

We hiked on snowshoes to a spot where we could practice building snow caves. Due to timing, we couldn't do an overnighter in the caves at that point, but we were glad for the low-risk practice.
