Lassen 2009, Day 4 - Spatter Cones, Reflection Lake

This day had 2 short hikes. The first was the Spatter Cones Nature Trail in Lassen national Forest (near the town of Old Station), which gave views of the lava of several lava tubes, several spatter cones, and a couple of vultures.

The second was a walk around Reflection Lake in Lassen Volcanic National Park, which gives nice reflections of Lassen Peak and Chaos Crags.
