Road punched through to Lassen Park
Visitors are now able to dri-
ve to several attractions with-
in Lassen Volcanic National
Park. The main park road is
open to vehicles from High-
way 44 to Devastated Area
and opened Saturday, June
18, from Highway 36 to the
Bumpass Hell parking area.
Park Superintendent Darlene
M. Koontz said, "The park
road crew has been diligently
working the past several
weeks to clear snow up to
depths of 25 feet along this
eight-mile section of the
road." The roads to Warner
Valley and Butte Lake are
open to visitors.
As the summer season be-
gins and the road opens to
this location each year, many
visitors are very interested in
hiking to the top of Lassen
Peak. The later heavy snow
storms this past spring have
left the peak trail snow-cov-
ered and will require anyone
wishing to summit Lassen
Peak to be prepared for travel-
ing over the snow with equip-
ment such as skis, snowshoes,
ice axes and crampons. This
is a popular time for spring
skiing and the clear skies
combined with warmer
weather mfike for exceptional
skiing.
The peak will remain open
to over-the-snow travel only
until trail crews are able to
begin work for this season.
This will be the second year of
the Reach the Peak trail reha-
bilitation project. Once trail
work has resumed, over-the-
snow travel on the peak and
the trail beyond the first 1.3
miles from the parking area
will be closed to all travel. Ac-
cess to the upper portion of
the trail and summit will only
be available on the following
dates this summer: July 1 - 4;
Aug. 13 - 14; and Sept. 2 - 5.
These closures are necessary
for the safety of both trail
workers and visitors.
The ranger-led programs at
Lassen Volcanic National
Park are kicking off the sum-
mer season starting Friday
June 17, and will offer a wide
variety of programs on the
natural and cultural history
of the park seven.days a week
through Labor Day weekend.
There are programs for visi-
tors of all ages.
Become a junior ranger and
explore the forest and lakes
on a discovery walk. Go in-
side a volcano and learn
about fumaroles, mud pots
and boiling springs. Meet pio-
neers and hear their amazing
stories as they travel the No-
bles wagon trail in 1853. Dis-
cover stars, planets and con-
stellations at the Starry Night
program. Kick back during
Coffee with a Ranger or go on
a bird walk at Manzanita
Lake. The majority of the
campgrounds in the park are
already open and ready for
overnight visitors. Manzanita
Lake, Crags, Lost Creek,
Warner Valley and Butte
Lake campgrounds are now
open to the public. Juniper
Lake and Summit Lake camp-
grounds remain closed due to
snow with an estimated open-
ing in early July.
Visitors are encouraged to
explore the park by foot, snow
shoes or skis. "This is a
unique opportunity for visi-
tors to enjoy both the snow
and the warm spring sun,"
said Koontz. Even though it
feels like summer in the val-
ley, visitors should still be
prepared for possible cold and
snowy conditions as moun.
tain weather can change
quickly. In order to be able
adjust to changing weather
conditions, it is best for visi-
tors to dress in layers and
bring blankets, food, water,
sunscreen and sunglasses.

tions and further informa-

The Indian Valley Horse-
shoe Pitchers Association
hosted a tournament at the
Greenville campgrounds
June 11 - 12, which was well
supported by players from
Reno, in addition to the local
horseshoe pitchers.
In the top 40-foot group on
Saturday, hard working Lee
Roy Lassiter took it alI for
his first tournament win.
Fritz Oberst followed, after
the two had a playoff for the
title.
Indian Valley dominated
the 'second 40-foot group,
with Jim Atcher taking first,
followed by the tough Harry
Begay, who is still pitching
40 feet despite turning 82
next month.
The top group of 30-foot
players was dominated by
Nevada. It was won by Jack
Porter of Reno, followed by
Don Gore of Reno.
The second group of 30ers
was won by Michelle White
of the Indian Valley club.
White pitched off and on
with the club since she was a
junior, and they are glad to
have her back. Second place
went to Walt Butcher.
On Sunday, the tourna-
ment winner in the 40-foot
group was Rob Roman, fol-
lowed by Indian Valley's
Gene Washoe. The second
group of 40ers was won by
Fritz Oberst, followed by
Harry Begay.
In the 30-foot group, the
tournament winner was Don
Gore from Reno, followed by
Elaine Butcher. Butcher had
some super games up in the
70s and pitched very well,
but the handicap got her in
the last game, as that was all
she lost.
