This is the sixth of a series of posts detailing hikes and walks I undertook in the course of a road trip in July 2016 that spanned 9 days and 3 states: CA, OR and NV (the last very transiently).
Date: July 6, 2016
Location: McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, CA
On the morning of July 6, I headed out from Mt. Shasta with the intent of driving along Highway 89, the path of the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, all the way to Lassen Volcanic NP, with a stop to see Burney Falls en route.
I reached there around 10:30 a.m. or so, and walked the mile-or-so long loop trail, and took lots of photographs, before continuing on.
