Ever wanted to hike through untouched wilderness, carry everything you need on your back, and sleep under a sky full of stars? This is your chance! Join Outdoor Adventures for an unforgettable backpacking trip in Lassen Volcanic National Park, where steaming fumaroles, alpine lakes, and rugged peaks create the perfect backdrop for an epic adventure.

Each step takes you deeper into nature, where you'll experience stunning views, fresh mountain air, and the rewarding feeling of self-sufficiency.
