Lassen Volcanic NP seems to be underrated. Most visitors are attracted to the well-known, and deservedly so, Yosemite NP further south. But to overlook Lassen is to miss out on a wonderful experience. My memories of Lassen are of deep blue crater lakes, of stunning mountain vistas, and of thermal landscape that rivals those at Yellowstone.
Lassen Volcanic NP was established in 1916 as an active volcanic landscape. Lassen Peak first erupted in 1914 and continued with minor activities until 1921. According to the NPS, all 4 types of volcanoes in the world are found here. |

I want to go back to Lassen when I can get to these areas. Everytime I pass by, the road threw the park is still snowbound. | filipdebont Sun May 11, 2003 11:13 UTC

Now THAT is a crater lake! Wow! But I'd say the place is more paradiso than inferno... | zrim Wed Jan 22, 2003 22:15 UTC
I agree with everything, Lassen is a fun place to spend a day or two. |
