Lassen Volcanic National Park
Friday-Sunday, June 24-26

Join Dan and Joan on the annual GGAS family camping excursion to Lassen. In 
past years we have seen Willow, Hammond's and Dusky Flycatchers, Black 
Swift, Bald Eagle, Osprey, Townsend's Solitaire, Mountain Bluebird, 
Calliope Hummingbird, Black-backed Woodpecker, Williamson's Sapsucker and 
most of the warblers and finches that breed in the mountains.

FRIDAY AND SUNDAY MORNINGS we will meet at the Manzanita Lake Campground 
store at 6:30 a.m. We will bird around the lake for 2-3 hours, return to 
camp for breakfast, then rendezvous again at the store at 10:30 a.m. for 
another outing. FRIDAY we will take a leisurely hike of about 3 mi. on one 
of Lassen's beautiful trails. We may climb as much as 700'. Wear sturdy 
shoes and bring lunch and liquids. Suntan lotion, a hat, mosquito repellent 
and warm clothing may also be necessary. SUNDAY we will drive through the 
park, making frequent stops for birding. We usually stop birding and head 
for home or camp after lunch at Summit Lake Campground.

On SATURDAY, campers will meet by the camp store at 7:30 a.m. and caravan 
north to Burney Falls, Fall River Valley and Baum Lake. Those staying at 
the Hat Creek Resort can meet us at around 8:00 a.m. at the Vista Point 
about 12 miles north of Lassen on Hwys. 44 & 89. Bring lunch and liquids. 
This all day excursion of about 100 mi. will include a 2-3 hr. midday break 
to give everyone a chance to swim at Lake Britton, hike the trails or just 
watch one of California's most spectacular waterfalls. Since this is a long 
and tiring day we suggest a get-together for dinner, at a nearby restaurant 
instead of returning to the campstove.

SPECIAL PREVIEW: Friday night join us for an hour or so to watch the goings 
on at the Hat Lake beaver pond. From Manzanita Lake drive south into the 
park for about 12 miles. Park in the lot to the left just beyond the 
hairpin turn at Hat Lake. We'll be there by 7 p.m. to see the wildlife that 
uses the beaver pond. Please don't slam car doors or make excessive noise 
since that can scare the wildlife we hope to see. Bring mosquito repellent, 
a warm jacket and a flashlight for when you get back to your camp or cabin. 
Stop at our campsite for further information. We will have a campfire every 
evening beginning around 8 or 9. Bring your own chair and a cup. We will 
provide hot water for tea or coffee. Check the campground bulletin boards 
or the office at Hat Creek Resort for our poster, campsite number, and any 
last minute changes in the schedule.

 From the Bay Area drive north on I-5 to its junction with Hwy. 44 in 
Redding. Go east on Hwy. 44 to the northwest entrance of Lassen. Camping 
facilities are available at Manzanita Lake. Lodging is available about 15 
mi. north of the park at Hat Creek Resort, Old Station [530] 335-7121. 
Other information can be obtained from the park headquarters, Mineral, CA 
96063.
