Lassen Volcano // Brokeoff Mountain // Fall River Hotel

 I soloed my way up Lassen Volcano during mid July, and then drove over to the trailhead of Brokeoff Mountain. The hike up to the summit of Brokeoff was relatively slow going due to very hot conditions. I made it nevertheless, and was greeted to the always grand view of Lassen. Flies at the summit of Brokeoff were a big annoyance, and I did not sit at the top for long as a result. Great day all in all, and I started the whole thing at the fantastic Fall River Hotel. If anyone is looking for a bit of a Wild West setting, Fall River is the place for you. The town is just pristine, a hidden gym in Northern California...surrounded by nature, quiet, peaceful, a good place to think, slow down, and contemplate.
