Album info

  • Title: Mount Lassen National Volcanic Park in Northern California
  • Description: The most southern active volcano of the Cascade Range, last erupted between 1914-17 and devastated the area surrounding Lassen Peak and rained volcanic ash as far away as 200 miles on the eastern side.

    The eastern side of the mount is now called the devasted area.

    Lassen park has some of the most active hydrothermal features in the Cascade.

    During the early summer of 2011 I visited the area, skied the devastated side and visited some of the geothermal areas

    Here are some pictures of Lassen Peak, Devils Kitchen, Boiling springs lake, Terminal geyser and a few of the other areas along the way.

    The Warner Valley area out of Chester, California is where you will find a good concentration of the geothermal activity.

    Bumpass Hell I hear is another great spot to visit, although there was still too much snow in late June and it was closed when I was there.

    Interesting fact

    All four types of volcanoes found in the world are located in the Park.

    Volcanoes found in the park include shield (Prospect Peak), plug dome (Lassen Peak), Cinder Cone (Cinder Cone), and Composite (Brokeoff Volcano) volcanoes.
