Hiking Kings Creek Falls and Sifford Lake Loop, Lassen Volcanic National Park

It was a fairly mellow trail that wound through redwoods. I wasn’t terribly impressed by most of it other than the Kings Creek Falls section. This a hit it and quit it trail; probably won’t be back to see most of it again.
