 Exploring Lassen Volcanic National Park
Lassen National Park is filled with fascinating
cultural and large-scale hydrothermal features, unlike any other volcano in the Cascade
Range. With a long and interesting volcanic history, Lassen Park contains nearly every
type of volcanic feature known and is unmatched in its variety. Filled with lush
old-growth forests, clear mountain streams and lakes, bubbling mudpots, hissing fumaroles,
remnants of ancient mountains long gone, and the evidence of recent volcanism in the
cratered Lassen Peak, the park abounds with cultural and natural history to entice a wide
variety of interests. Lassen Volcanic National Park gives us a glimpse into the past when
primordial mountain peaks stood where lush forests now flourish and native peoples enjoyed
the natural splendors still abundant in the park today.
