Lassen Volcanic National Park

Head north along the eastern Sierra
Nevada-a breathtaking drive-to
Lake Tahoe. Circle the lake's west
side and walk down to Vikingsholm
Mansion in Emerald Bay State
Park. Continue north-west from
Lake Tahoe to Lassen Volcanic
National Park to see bubbling
mud pots and steaming geysers,
and book a rustic cabin alongside
Manzanita Lake. Drive north to take
photos of the fern-trimmed falls in
McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial
State Park. Further north, take
Everitt Memorial Highway to climb
up the west side of Mount Shasta, a
massive, snow-capped volcano. Now
head south to Redding, then west
to the coast to visit fern grottoes
and soaring forests in Redwood National & State Parks, California's
second World Heritage Site. Head
to well-named Tall Trees Grove, and
walk through emerald-green Fern
Canyon. Follow State Highway 1
south along the coast to look for
whales (November to April) from the
tip of Point Reyes National Seashore, then cross the Golden Gate
Bridge to San Francisco.
