1st to summit Labor Day weekend
After hiking up Mt. Ingalls in the morning, I rode my motorcycle back up to Lassen NP to hike up Lassen Peak. I had wanted to be there at 4:30 pm because that is when I had seen the work crew finishing on Tuesday, but didn't get there until almost 5. The crew was still in the parking lot and told me that the trail was open and I had the mountain all to myself. It was cool and windy on top but the air was clear, smokey down in the valleys. I still had to ride 2 hours back to my camper at Quincy, and knew it would be cold so I didn't waste any time. Took a few pictures on top, ate some snacks and then headed back down.
Total time 2:12, 1:05 up, 48 min. down.

Trail Open
Still had snow patches, but able to do it without yak traks or snowshoes. Poles help with the slippery parts. We made it to the top right before the clouds rolled in.
Hiked the peak on one of the few open days during the "Reach the Peak" project. Very nice early morning hike. Only saw a few people. Hiked Brokeoff afterwards.

fun hike
had a fun hike to the summit with Amy, Andy, and Beth. This was my 5th time to the summit (trail in 1991 & 2001, NW ridge 2008, East ridge 2010). A busy day, as the 'Reach the Peak' project temporarily has the mountain closed most for most of the season. trip report

NW ridge
A very scenic climb in good conditions. Beautiful views of Shasta. Don't do this route unless snow covered!

Lassen
Three day excursion with Ezra Danciu and George Sakaldasis. Awesome full moons camped beside Lake Helen. Deep snow at higher elevations. Got sick on the summit but slowly but sure descended to camp with no problems.

Hot Day!
It was a hot day on Lassen, but at least the cool breeze helped a lot on the way down the mountain. Tons of people, so don't be surprised.

Spring Snowboarding
Started from Devastated Area by split board. Swithced to crampons once we reached the base of the mountain. Fantastic ride down!

Summit Closed
LVNP closed the entire mountain for the "Reach the Peak" project on all sides (they had the north side open before but they shut that down too). The trail was open to a point called "Grandview" which doesn't really live up to its name (seems like any other point on the trail) so went up to there. Rangers were watching from the parking lot (with binoculars) for violators. Saw a total of three other people on the trail.

Lots of snow still
Nice mostly clear day, tons of snow still for July, Less than a dozen people on the trail. Followed the standard route up and took a more direct route down with the assistance of an ice axe
