Hat Creek
Lassen National Forest California
Hat Creek is fed from very cold and pure springs at the edge of the lava flows north of Mount Lassen. This is an exceptionally beautiful stream running through a lovely forest, world famous for its trout fishing. But don't plan on taking any home for dinner, most of this creek is reserved for catch-and-release fly fishing.
Subway Cave is a popular lava tube cave in the Hat Creek Lava Flow.
