Lake Almanor - Indian Falls hike

On Sunday we thought we would take in more of the area and try to find a local hike. We didn't want to drive as far as the Lassen Volcanos national park since we had been driving so much the previous days. 

We found a local short hike to Indian Falls about 20 minutes drive away.

The short path from the parking area was lined with poison oak so of course I was shouting at the kids to stay on the path the whole time down. 

We were rewarded with a beautiful rocky falls area with some shallow pools throughout. 

Perfect opportunity to photos.

Alex managed to prop up his phone and set the photo timer so we could get a shot with all of us.

We had read about being able to swim in the pools but after the two nurse moms got a look at the foamy green water we vetoed the idea, although I'm sure it would be fine, we were not taking any chances. 

All the girls brought their polaroid cameras so they got a shot with the waterfall and their friends. 

After our little excursion we headed back to the cabin for lunch and another afternoon swimming at the lake. We were back to the house for dinner again and sitting out on the deck in the evenings watching the bats fly overhead.
