Lassen to Dixie
	Wadeth & Mark
	Our voyage of canyon hikes began with a drive across n. CA, Nevada, and Utah. The drive contained several nice surprises, including a great canyon state park in Nevada, and brilliant aspen forest in Dixie NF.
1. We left home and drove due east, to Lassen Volcanic park, where we camped the first night by a frigid creek.
2. Arriving just before dark, we scrambled up this hillside which was covered with red pummice stone of a very light weight. Everything was crumbly and collapsing under foot, but I needed to run after a long drive.

6. Kershaw-Ryan State Park is a great place to spend a night or two. It's 2 miles south of Caliente in southeastern Nevada.

14. I wanted to go to the eastern US this fall to see the leaves change color, and I had been longing to see this for a while. So I was very excited when we entered the Dixie National Forest and the brillian aspens were all changing to bright yellow!
