Lassen Volcanic Park will offer an opportunity for non-motorized recreation along the park highway, on Saturday, October 18. Come enjoy the fall colors and crisp air as you bicycle, walk, or run along the Lassen National Park Highway, vehicle-free.
The highway will be closed to motorized travel from 8am to 8pm and open to cyclists, runners, and walkers along the 30 mile stretch between the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center and the Loomis Museum Plaza. It is highly recommended that you complete your trek by sunset as the cool nights may create icy conditions on the road.
Stop into the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center or the Loomis Ranger Station between 9am to 5pm for more detailed information. A site bulletin containing a map, distances, and altitudes at designated waysides is available online (http://bit.ly/LAVOVF2014).
The entrance fee into the park is $10 per vehicle or $5 per person ($10 per family) on a bicycle. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis at the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center and Loomis Plaza. For further information, please visit the park’s website at www.nps.gov/lavo or contact the park at (530) 595-4480.
