Paul vs. the Volcano

"To visit Lassen Volcanic National
Park is to witness a brief moment in the ancient battle between the earth shaping forces of creation and destruction in Northern California. Nestled within Lassen’s peaceful forests and untouched wilderness, [Paul and his buddy Pete, with skis strapped to their backs, dared to challenge the towering Lassen Peak, eventually conquering the 10,457 foot summit and victoriously skiing back to the parking lot, sustaining only mild dehydration and not-so-mild sunburn], evidence of Lassen’s long fiery and active past."
