You know you're nearing Almanor country when you spot Mt Lassen, which used to be the only active volcano in the US. Its last official tantrum was in 1917 and since then it has become a national park - a good place to spend a day
seeing the sulphur hot springs or climbing to
the top of the 10,448 foot volcano to look out
over Lake Almanor at its base.
   
Before there was a Lake Almanor, the Maidu Indians called it "oy-ding-koyo" or Big Meadows - the lush, bountiful land at the foot of the volcano where evil spirits dwelled.

For a number of centuries the Maidu took from and repaid the land for their living, surviving the Sierra winters by migrating to lower elevations.
    

Spanish explorer Luis Arguillo was the first European to enter Feather River - named for the feathers floating on the waters. He was followed by a scattering of trappers, lone mountain men, until 1848 when Peter Lassen led a party bound for California via a "short cut" from the Oregon trail that wound through Big Meadows. These were followed by other seekers: ranchers, dairymen, farmers and miners, who recognized the varied riches of the area and saw no need to travel farther.
