Our first leg to Lake Almanor’s Roger’s Field will take us up the drainage of the Feather River, featuring volcanic landscapes from when this region was a literal hotbed of volcanic activity. To our left is Mount Lassen (erupted 99 years ago), the Southern most peak in the Cascades. To our right is the Northern end to the Sierra Nevada Range.
Our second leg will follow the East side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains past Quincy, Beckworth, and Sierraville to the Truckee-Tahoe airport to regroup and take on fuel for some aircraft. We will continue over Lake Tahoe to the South Tahoe airport for lunch on the deck of the terminal building overlooking the runway and surrounding area. The final leg home passes Fallen Leaf Lake, Emerald Bay and the West Shore of the lake. This Flyout is a perennial favorite among Flyout pilots.The mountain landscapes of the Sierra Nevada & Lake Tahoe promise to be a highlight of the trip!
