Trip to Redding Area/Lassen Natl.Park

Last week I went To the Redding Area/Lassen Natl.Park and it was really fun.On the first day I went to Whiskeytown Natl.Rec.Area.I swam to this place in the lake where you jump of int the water and I saw a giant creepy hole saying:"Stay alive by staying out".It was for floods.That night my mom cooked dinner in the house and the smoke alarm went of.It was very unexpected.We also ate cold meat that tastes good cold[weird right?].
The next day I went to Lassen Natl.Park.It was awesome!First I saw a random lake which I forgot its name.The water was freezing!!!!!!!!!Then I went to Summit Lake to eat lunch.We caught lots of dragonflies.My dad caught them by whacking them with a sweater.I got a bit of dragonfly blood on me.Then on the way to Bumpass Hell I saw a bear!!!!!!!It was only like 50-100 ft. away!It was a MOTHER BEAR WITH CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Then I went to Bumpass Hell.It was a long hike and we had to walk on snow and ice!I nearly slipped and fell.When we got there we saw lots of geysers!It smelled really bad because of the sulpur[a gas which smells like fart].Then we went back to the hotel.I went swimming.
The next day we went to Burney Falls.First we went on Burney Falls loop hike.We hiked to the top of the falls.It was cool and the air had a lot of mist.I saw a guy flyfishing in the water.After that we went to the lake to go paddleboating.We saw lots of fish.My mom thinks she got bit by a watersnake.
The last day we went to Turtle Bay to see Sundial Bridge. It totally looked like a sundial!It was really hot.I skipped/bounced rocks in the river.
That was our Lassen trip.What did you do?
