About

"Paradise Meadows is a hidden gem tucked away on the northeast side of Lassen Peak. The moderate three-mile round trip hike follows Hat Creek up through a beautiful forest to a large basin surrounded by steep cliffs. Nestled in the basin is an enchanting wildflower meadow that looks straight out of a fairytale. Along the way, you’ll pass a few waterfalls and catch glimpses of Lassen Peak through the trees.

With an elevation gain of 700 feet, be prepared to do a fair bit of climbing. But the heavenly views at the end are so worth it!"
