Lassen by Limousine

So, you and your friends want to take a limousine ride across the surface of an active volcano? We can do that. The closest city to Lassen Volcanic National Park is Redding, California, so that's where we'll begin. First, hire yourself a fabulous, spacious, climate-controlled US Coachways limousine. Select your limo from our excellent fleet of Jaguars, Cadillacs, Mercedes --even Humvees! It's an excellent idea to have a good meal before heading to the volcano, so have your professional, uniformed limo driver take you to Lai Lai Chinese Buffet at 2705 Churn Creek Road in Redding. Chow down on that Chow Mein, because a trip to Lassen Peak will be an all-day adventure.

After you're happily sated, climb back into your luxurious limousine and settle into the fine, comfortable leather seating for the long, scenic cruise up into the Shasta range. As the elevation increases notice how the plant life changes from low-lying California scrub into remarkable Alpine forests. Of course you've stocked your limo's wet bar and are enjoying every second of these magnificent views. Make sure at least one person in your tour group brought a camera, you'll want to remember this day in your limousine in photos!

Once you're on the flanks of Mount Lassen, an ancient, awe-inspiring feeling may overtake you-revel in it! The last time Mount Lassen erupted was in 1921, but rangers say that it could actually erupt at any time. Ask your devoted limo driver to cruise slowly so you may absorb the sounds and sights of these stately mountains. Watch for weird geothermal features like geysers and steaming vapor vents, hissing fumaroles and bubbling mud pots, all evidence of the long-ago volcanic activity that formed the peaks you're atop of. Ice-Age glaciers carved amazing curves and cuts into these mountains, leaving ancient remnants for you to see today.

It gets very chilly up here on Lassen Peak, so you'll eventually ask your driver to deliver you back to Redding for a much-needed cup of coffee. It will take about ninety minutes to get back to town, so stretch out and know that hiring this US Coachways luxury limousine was one of your best ideas, ever. Down in Redding, your driver will take you to Coffee Creek Juice & Java at 2380 Athens Avenue, in the heart of Redding. Savor a steaming cup and linger as long as you like-- your trusty driver will be happy to wait as long as needed and then escort you safely and graciously back to where this adventure began. Tonight you'll dream of Mount Lassen National Park and remember this day always.
