Lassen Volcanic National Park

Lassen Volcanic National Park is a national park in northeastern California that protects a remarkable volcanic landscape at the southern end of the Cascade Range. The park's dominant feature is Lassen Peak, the largest plug dome volcano in the world and the southernmost active volcano in the Cascades. The park is one of the few places on Earth where all four types of volcanoes can be found: plug dome, shield, cinder cone, and stratovolcano. The area remains geologically active with boiling mud pots, fumaroles, and hot springs demonstrating ongoing volcanic processes beneath the surface. Established in 1916 following a period of significant eruptive activity, the park preserves approximately 106,000 acres of diverse terrain ranging from glaciated canyons and alpine lakes on the western side to a vast lava plateau dotted with cinder cones on the eastern side. The landscape tells a compelling geological story of volcanic construction, collapse, and ongoing thermal activity.
