Description
This image features the majestic Kings Creek Falls in Lassen Volcanic National Park on a late summer afternoon. This wonderful cascade requires a hike of a little over 3 miles round trip to view it. At a height of approximately 40 feet it isn’t a mammoth falls by any means but it is gorgeous to look upon due to the silky streaks created as the water flows over the rocks to continue on down Kings Creek.
The trail to and from the falls is of easy to moderate difficulty and has historically been an absolutely gorgeous hike to take. In 2021 the Dixie Fire burned through much of the park including this area and I’ve yet to visit the park to see how this lovely area fared, although I understand much of the railings, etc at the edge of the trail were destroyed. Hopefully, the damage wasn’t too severe as it is one of my favorite areas within my “home” national park.
I also offer this image in a vertical orientation elsewhere on my page.
EDIT 2023
Sadly, this area was absolutely ravaged by the evil Dixie Fire of 2021 and will need a great deal of time to recover!
