Paradise Meadow Hike (Lassen Volcanic National Park)
2023-08-05 @ 8:00 am - 1:00 pm PDT
Paradise Meadow Hike
Lassen Volcanic National Park
Saturday, August 5 at 8 am
Join us in hiking to the beautiful Paradise Meadow, a three-mile hike of moderate difficulty starting at 6400 ft. elevation! We’ll make our way to the meadows for lunch and continue up the trail afterward for about half a mile to observe the changing plant life as we move from rich damp organic soil to dryer volcanic ash.
The total mileage for this hike is about four miles with an elevation gain of 1,000 ft.
This field trip will focus on identifying and learning all the conifers and shrubs on the trail. There will still be wildflowers in bloom, even though it is past the peak blooming period. Learn about seven different trees and 10 different shrubs, plus several wildflowers.
Meet at the Mt. Shasta Mall parking lot at 8 am to carpool to the trailhead. For more information contact hike leader David Ledger at david@ecoshasta.org
